PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even
death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The
required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
•
Use the specified adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent recom-
mended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in
damage to the instrument or overheating.
•
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust
which may have accumulated on it.
•
Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as
heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise
damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a posi-
tion where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
•
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the inter-
nal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no
user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning,
discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
•
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in
damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liq-
uids which might spill into any openings.
•
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
•
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
•
If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if
there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if
any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it,
immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor
plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by quali-
fied Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or
others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited
to, the following:
•
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,
always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
•
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or
during electrical storms.
•
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a mul-
tiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or
possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
•
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or
extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or
in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfigu-
ration or damage to the internal components.
•
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo
equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise,
the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
•
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it
might accidentally fall over.
•
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and
other cables.
•
Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching
the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could
cause damage to the internal components or result in the instru-
ment falling over.

•
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic compo-
nents, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the
power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to mini-
mum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their
minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while
playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
•
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use
paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated
wiping cloths.
•
Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
•
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the
gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the
power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC out-
let. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha ser-
vice personnel.
•
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument,
since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
•
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instru-
ment, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or
connectors.
•
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high
or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent
hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the
ears, consult a physician.
Saving and backing up your data
•
Some of the current memory data (see page 42) is lost when you
turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy
disk/the User Drive (see page 39, 47).
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect opera-
tion. Save important data to a floppy disk.
Backing up the floppy disk
•
To protect against data loss through media damage, we recom-
mend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not
using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Maintenance
Handling caution
Saving data
When you change settings in a display page and then exit
from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter
Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically
stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the
power without properly exiting from the relevant display.
Caution for data operations
Make sure NEVER to turn the PSR-2100/1100’s power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/
FLOPPY DISK drives — such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting — until the operation is completely finished.
(Make sure to wait until the alert message disappears.)
Tur ning the power off during the operation results in the loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive.
Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the
power while performing a save/delete/paste operation with the USER drive may result in loss of ALL data on the USER
drive (upon the next power on) — and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing a save/delete/
paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the operation is completed,
you risk losing ALL your USER drive data — including all voices, styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory pre-
sets you’ve saved to the USER drive.
This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 154).
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

PSR-2100/1100
Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and
Floppy Disk
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward,
towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the
slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into
place and the eject button pops out.
To eject a floppy disk:
Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that data
is not being written to the floppy disk.
If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in
the following operations, the messages “Now
executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting”
appears in the display.
•Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data
(page 45 - 47).
• Naming files and folders (page 44); creating a new
folder (page 47).
• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 153);
formatting the disk (page 153).
• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off
when the data is being written to the floppy disk.
Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk
drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go;
the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is
fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.
• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not
pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject
properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-
pressed position with the disk extending from the
drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do
not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since
using force in this situation can damage the disk drive
mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again,
or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the
eject procedure.
• Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive
before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the
drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and
dirt that can cause data read and write errors.
• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument
employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,
after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of
magnetic particles from the disks used that will
eventually cause read and write errors.
•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order
Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-
available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the
head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer
about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.
• Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk
drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk
drive or floppy disks.

To handle floppy disks with care:
• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply
pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy
disks in their protective cases when they are not in
use.
• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely
high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust
or liquids.
• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed
surface of the floppy disk inside.
• Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as
those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc.,
since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase
data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.
• Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or
housing.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels
to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are
attached in the proper location.
To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):
•To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide
the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position
(tab open).
Data backup
•For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that
you keep two copies of important data on separate
floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost
or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to
Disk function on page 153.
About the Display Messages
A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation.
When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the corresponding button.

Setting Up the PSR-2100/1100
1
Make sure that the PSR-2100/1100’s STANDBY/ON
switch is at the STANDBY (off) position.
2
Connect one end of the AC cable to the PA-300.
3
Connect the PA-300’s DC plug to the PSR-2100/
1100’s DC IN terminal on the instrument’s rear
panel.
4
Connect the other end (normal AC plug) to the
nearest electrical outlet.
WARNING
Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA-
300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. The use of an
incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the PSR-
2100/1100, and may even pose a serious shock hazard! ALWAYS
UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET
WHEN THE PSR-2100/1100 IS NOT IN USE.
CAUTION
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor)
during any PSR-2100/1100 record operation! Doing so can result
in a loss of data.
CAUTION
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity
is still flowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not
using the PSR-2100/1100 for an extended period of time, be sure
to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
When you have made all the necessary connections
(page 155) between your PSR-2100/1100 and any other
devices, make sure that all volume settings are turned
down all the way to zero. Then turn on every device in
your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI
slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers,
amplifiers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI
operation and prevents speaker damage.
When powering down the setup, first turn down the
volume for each audio device, then switch off each
device in the reverse order (first audio devices, then
MIDI).

amplifier. Likewise,always switch off the power of the 2100/1100 after
switching off the power of the amplified speakers or mixer and ampli-
fier.
CAUTION
Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position,electricity is still
flowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the
PSR-2100/1100 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the
AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
n
Before you switch your 2100/1100 on or off, first turn down the vol-
ume of any connected audio equipment.
1 Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch.
→ The main display appears in the display.
When you’re ready to turn off the power, press the
[STANDBY/ON] switch again.
→ Both the display and the drive lamp (at the
bottom left of the drive) will turn off.
2 Adjusting the display contrast
If the LCD is difficult to read, adjust the
contrast with the [LCD CONTRAST]
knob on the rear panel.
3 Setting the volume
Use the [MASTER VOLUME]
dial to adjust the volume to
an appropriate level.
The Panel Logos
The logos printed on the PSR-2100/1100 panel indicate
standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard
which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will
play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or
synthesizer from any manufacturer.
XG Format
XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly
expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard
with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and
effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By
using the PSR-2100/1100 XG voices, it is possible to record
XG-compatible song files.
XF Format
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File)
standard with greater functionality and open-ended
expandability for the future. The PSR-2100/1100 is capable of
displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.
(SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files.
The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1,
and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.)
Vocal Harmony (PSR-2100 only)
Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal
processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal
harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony
can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as
well as the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal
harmony effects.
Disk Orchestra Collection
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback
compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and
MIDI devices.
Style File Format
The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style file format,
which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality
automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord
types. The PSR-2100/1100 uses the SFF internally, reads
optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style
Creator feature.
USB
USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial
interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices. It
allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while
the power to the computer is on).

Style Sections
Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic
style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings,
Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professional-
sounding arrangements.
1 - 3 Use the same operations as in “Playing a style” on pages 28 and 29.
4 Press the [INTRO] button.
5 As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the Intro starts.
For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).
When the playback of the intro is finished, it automatically leads into main section.
6 Press any of the MAIN [A] to [D] buttons or [BREAK]
button as desired. (See the Accompaniment Structure
on the next page.)
7 Press the [AUTO FILL IN] button to add a fill-in, if
necessary.
Fill-in patterns play automatically between each change in
the Main sections.
8 Press the [ENDING] button.
This switches to the ending section. When the ending is
finished, the style automatically stops.
INTRO This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the
main section.
MAIN This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures,
and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed.
BREAK This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your
performance sound even more professional.
ENDING This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops
automatically.

also create and edit your own data with some of the functions on the instrument.
All this data is stored in separate files — just as is done on a computer.
Here, we’ll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in handling and organizing the data of the
PSR-2100/1100 in files and folders.
Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save displays. You can select these
displays according to their respective file types, as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data
efficiently by putting various files of the same type into a single folder.
The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, Multi Pad Bank and Registration Bank can be called up from the MAIN
display (the display shown when the power is turned on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.

Example — Open/Save display
Each Open/Save display consists of three kinds of drive pages: PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK.
In the examples given here, the Open/Save display for Voice is shown.
BACK NEXT
PRESET drive
The files that are pre-
programmed and installed
internally to the PSR-2100/1100
are kept here. Preset files can be
loaded but cannot be re-written.
However, you can use a preset
file as a basis for creating your
own original file (which can be
saved in the USER or FLOPPY
DISK drive).
USER drive
Files kept here are those
containing your own original
data, created or edited using the
various functions of the PSR-
2100/1100. They are stored
internally to the PSR-2100/1100.
FLOPPY DISK drive
You can also store your original
data to floppy disk.
Commercially available disk
software can also be called up
here. Naturally, these files are
available only when the
appropriate disk is inserted in
the floppy disk drive.
File
All data, both pre-
programmed and your own
original, are stored as “files.”
Current Memory
“Current Memory” is the area where the voice is called up when you
select a voice. Also it is the area where you edit your voice using the
SOUND CREATOR function. Your edited voice should then be saved
as a file in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive.
Recording songs (page 95) and creating accompaniment styles
(page 111) are done within the current memory. Please make sure to
properly save this data to the USER/FLOPPY DISK drive as a file or
files. The data will be lost if you turn off the power without saving.
For details, see page 42.

level directory page.
In this example, the

page can be called

This applies only if you are using the “ (kana-kan)” button (in Japanese). When
the input “hiragana” characters are shown in reverse display (highlighted), press the
[ENTER] button one or several times to convert the characters into the appropriate
kanji. The reversed area can be changed by the [DATA ENTRY] dial. The converted
area can be changed back to “hiragana” by the [7▼] (DELETE) button. The reversed
area can be cleared at once by the [8▼] (CANCEL) button. To actually enter the
change, press the [8▲] (OK) button or enter the next character. To enter the
“hiragana” itself (without converting it), press the [8▲] (OK) button.
■ Entering special character marks (umlaut, accent, Japanese “ ” and “ ”)
Select a character to which a character mark is to be added and press the [6▼] button
(before actual entry of the character.)
■ Entering miscellaneous characters (marks)
You can call up the mark list by pressing the [6▼] button, after actually entering a
character by moving the cursor.
Move the cursor to the desired mark by using the [DATA ENTRY] dial, then press the
[8
▲] (OK) or [ENTER] button.
■ Entering numbers
First, select one of the following: “A B C” (full-size alphabet), “ABC” “CASE” (half-size
capital alphabet) and “case” (half-size lowercase alphabet). Then, press and hold
down the appropriate button, [2
▲] - [7▲] and [2▼] - [5▼], for a while, or press it
repeatedly until the desired number is selected.
The following half-size
marks cannot be used in
naming files and folders:
¥ \ / : * ? “ < > |
In the case of characters
which are not accompanied

(with the exception of kana-
kan and half-size katakana),
you can call up the mark list
by pressing the [6▼] button
after selecting a character
(before actual entry of a
character).

Voice Characteristics
The voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the voice name.
Live! (PSR-2100 only)
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound — full of
atmosphere and ambience.
Cool!
These voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments — thanks to a huge amount
of memory and some very sophisticated programming.
Sweet!
These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology — and feature a sound so
finely detailed and natural, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!
Drum
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the
keyboard.
SFX
Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
Organ Flutes! (PSR-2100 only)
This authentic organ voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the various footages and craft your own
original organ sounds.
Keyboard Percussion
When one of the drum of SFX kits is selected in the PERCUSSION voice group, various drum, percussion, and special
effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. The various drums and
percussion instruments of the Standard Kit are indicated by symbols below the assigned keys. Keep in mind that even
though different kits feature different sounds, some same-named sounds in different kits are identical.
Refer to the separate Data List (Drum/key Assignment List) for a listing of the sounds in each drum/SFX kit.

Left — Setting Separate Voices for the Left and Right Sections of the Keyboard
This section of the panel lets you add a variety of effects to the voices you play on the keyboard.
■ TOUCH
This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When this is set to off, the same volume is produced no
matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.
■ SUSTAIN
When this Sustain feature is on, all notes played on the keyboard (MAIN/LAYER parts only) have a longer sustain. You
can also set the Sustain depth (page 93).
■ DSP
The PSR-2100/1100 features a variety of dynamic built-in digital effects, letting you
process the sound in various ways. You can use DSP to enhance the voices in subtle ways
— such as by applying chorus to add animation and depth, or using a symphonic effect to
give the sound warmth and richness. DSP also has effects such as distortion that can
completely change the character of the sound. DSP is set for the currently selected part
(MAIN/LAYER/LEFT).

way of VOICE (MAIN) screen (page 57).
The split point can be freely
set to any key on the key-
board. (page 141).
n
Each part (MAIN, LAYER,
and LEFT) can have its own
volume setting (page 64).
n
You can also use the LAYER
and LEFT functions
together, to create a combi-
nation layer/split. To do this,
set separate voices for the
left and right sections of the
keyboard (as indicated), and
set up a layer of two different
voices on the right.

PSR-2100/1100
■ VARIATION
This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected
type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 127), this lets you switch the rotor speed between
slow and fast.
■ HARMONY/ECHO
This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section
of the keyboard (page 146).
■ MONO
This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a
time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the
lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last
note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically.
Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the
Portamento effect, when playing in legato.
■ LEFT HOLD
This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the
same effect as when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when
used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the
auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set
to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall
accompaniment sound.
Use the PSR-2100/1100 PITCH BEND
wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away
from you) or down (roll the wheel toward
you) while playing the keyboard. The PITCH
BEND wheel is self-centering and will
automatically return to normal pitch when
released.
The Modulation function applies a vibrato
effect to notes played on the keyboard (PSR-
2100). Moving the MODULATION wheel
all the way towards yourself minimizes the
depth of the effect, while rotating it away
from yourself increases it.
The [UPPER OCTAVE] button allows the MAIN and LAYER parts to be simultaneously
transposed up or down by one octave.
You can add special empha-
sis to melody lines you play
over chords by using the
Layer function with a mono-
phonic voice. Set the Main
voice to play polyphonically
and set the Layer voice to
play monophonically
(MONO). In this case, the
melody you play — including
the top notes of any chords
— sounds monophonically.
Tr y this using the following
voices.
MAIN voice
: Brass Section
(polyphonic) +
LAYER voice
:
Sweet Trump (monophonic)
The Portamento effect creates
a smooth pitch glide between
successively played notes.
PITCH BEND Wheel & MODULATION Wheel
PITCH BEND
The maximum pitch bend
range can be changed
(page 126).
MODULATION
In order to avoid accidentally
applying modulation set the
depth to its minimum setting.

More detailed octave-related
settings for each part can be
made by using the Mixing

Enabling this lets you start

For details about chord fingerings, refer to page 65.
Accompaniment Style Characteristics
The defining characteristics of some of the accompaniment styles are indicated above the relevant style names in the Open/Save display.
Session!
These styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with
chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of
certain songs and in certain genres. As a result, the styles may not necessarily be appropriate — or even harmonically correct — for all
songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad may result in a seventh chord, or playing an on-bass
chord may result in incorrect or unexpected accompaniment.

PSR-2100/1100
The style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the keys to the left of the split point. There are 7 types of
fingerings as described below. Go to the CHORD FINGERING page (page 142), and select the Chord Fingerings. The
page shows how to play chords with your left hand.
SINGLE FINGER
Single Finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major,
seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the auto accompaniment section
of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used.
MULTI FINGER
The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings,
so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes. If you
want to play minor, seventh, or minor-seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER
operation in the MULTI FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the
root of the chord.
FINGERED
This mode lets you produce accompaniment by playing full chords on the auto
accompaniment section of the keyboard. The Fingered mode recognizes the various
chord types listed on the next page.
FINGERED ON BASS
This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED mode, but the lowest note
played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the bass note,
allowing you to play “on bass” chords. For example, to indicate a C-on-E chord, play a C
major chord with E as the lowest note (E, G, C).
FULL KEYBOARD
This method detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar
to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example,
playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord
with your left hand and a melody note with your right.
AI FINGERED
This mode is basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three
notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).
AI FULL KEYBOARD
When this advanced auto accompaniment mode is engaged, the PSR-2100/1100 will automatically create appropriate
accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to
worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many
songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature.
This mode is similarto FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the
chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9
th
and 11
th
chords cannot be played.
Chord Fingerings
For a major chord, press the root key only.
C
For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key
and a black key to its left.
Cm
For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root
key and a white key to its left.
C7
For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the
root key and both a white and black key to its left.
Cm7
Chord detection in the AI
Full Keyboard mode occurs
at approximately 8th-note
intervals. Extremely short
chords — less than an 8th
note in length — may not be
detected.
In Full Keyboard mode,
chords are detected based
on the lowest and second
lowest notes you play. If the
two lowest notes fall within a
single octave, those two
notes determine the chord. If
the lowest note and the sec-
ond lowest note are sepa-
rated by more than one
octave, the lowest note
becomes the bass and the
chord is determined from the
second lowest note and the
other notes played in the
same octave.

Simultaneously Playing a Song and an Accompaniment Style
When playing back a song and an accompaniment style at the same time, channels 9 -
16 of the song data are replaced with accompaniment style channels — allowing you
to use the auto accompaniment styles and features in place of the accompaniment parts
of the song. Make the settings below and play your own chord substitutions in place of
the song’s chord data.
• [ACMP] button .................. ...ON
• [AUTO FILL IN] button ..... ...ON
1
Select the song and start playback by pressing the SONG [START/STOP] button.
2
Select the desired accompaniment style.
3
Start the style by pressing the STYLE [START/STOP] button.
4
While the song is playing, insert a break or change sections (with the STYLE
section buttons.)
Fill-in patterns play when you switch sections.
The style automatically stops when the song finishes or is stopped.
The accompaniment stops
when you stop the song. If
the accompaniment style is
playing and you start the
song, the accompaniment
automatically stops. How-
ever, for internal songs that
use accompaniment styles,
the accompaniment style is
not stopped.
END
Some of the internal songs have been created using the accompaniment styles. For these songs, the
accompaniment styles are automatically started when starting song playback.

Some song data for the PSR-
2100/1100 has been
recorded with special “free
tempo” settings. During play-
back of such song data, the
measure numbers shown in

Songs containing a large
amount of data may not be
able to be read properly by
the instrument, and as such
you may not be able to

SOUND
The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90.
■ FILTER
FILTER settings determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a
certain frequency range.
■ EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce
many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion
sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone.
• ATTACK ...... Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum
level after the key is played. The higher the value, the
slower the attack.
• DECAY........ Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain
level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher
the value, the slower the decay.
• RELEASE ..... Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after
the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release.
81 2 3 4 5 6 7
Determines the filter, EG, and
vibrato settings (see below).
In addition to making the
sound either brighter or
more mellow, Filter can be
used to produce electronic,
synthesizer-like effects.

■ VIBRATO
• DEPTH........ Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher
settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato.
• SPEED......... Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect (see diagram).
• DELAY ........ Determines the amount of time that elapses between the
playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect (see
diagram). Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato
onset.

Organ Flutes (PSR-2100 only)
In addition to the many organ voices in the ORGAN voice category, the PSR-2100/1100 has an ORGAN FLUTES voice.
The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90.
■ Parameters
Organ Type This parameter specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage.
Rotary SP Speed The Rotary SP Speed ([C]) button alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker
speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “DSP Type” below), and the
VOICE EFFECT [DSP] button is turned on (the Rotary SP Speed button has the same effect as the
VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button).
Vibrato On/Off This ([G]) button alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes voice ON or OFF.
Vibrato Depth Can be set to any of three levels via the Vibrato Depth ([H]) button. The button sequentially selects a
depth of “1”, “2”, or “3”.
Footage The footage settings determine the basic sound of the organ flutes.
The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound
is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound.
Hence, the 16’ setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1’ setting
determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume
of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own
distinctive organ sounds.
Volume (VOL) Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume.
Response (RESP) The Response control affects both the attack and sustain portion of the sound, increasing or
decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The
higher the value the slower the swell and release.
Vibrato Speed (VIB. SPEED) Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off and Vibrato Depth above.
Mode The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack is
applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any
subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all
notes.
Attack (4’, 2 2/3’, 2’) The ATTACK controls adjust the attack sound of the ORGAN FLUTE voice. The 4’, 2 2/3 ‘and 2’
controls increase or reduce the amount of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the
graphic bar the greater the attack sound.
Length (LENG) The LENGTH control affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay
immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar the longer the decay.
Reverb Depth
Chorus Depth
DSP on/off
DSP Depth
For details about the digital effects, see pages 60, 127.
DSP Type Determines the DSP effect type to be applied to the Organ Flutes voice. Normally this will be one of the
seven available Rotary Speaker effects. If any other type of effect is selected, the Rotary SP Speed
([C]) button in the FOOTAGE/VOL/ATTACK display will not control rotary speaker speed. Instead, it will
have the same effect as the VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button.
Variation Variation Determines whether the DSP variation will be set to Slow or Fast when the Organ Flutes voice is
selected (when the Voice Set function is ON — page 146).
Value Sets the DSP variation parameter value (e.g., “LFO Freq” for a Rotary Speaker effect) when the DSP
variation is turned on.
EQ Low
EQ High
The EQ parameters determine the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands.
Adjust the Footage.

Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs
— Song Creator
With these powerful yet easy-to-use song creating features, you can record your own keyboard performances and store
them for future recall. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page 96), which lets you
record easily and quickly; Multi Recording (page 97), which lets you record several different parts; and Step Recording
(page 99), which lets you enter notes one by one. Songs can include not only the voice settings for the keyboard
performance (Main, Layer, Left), but also the effects, vocal harmony and auto accompaniment parts. The recorded song
can be stored to internal memory or floppy disk (page 38, 47).
About Song Recording
There are two methods of recording songs: realtime recording and step recording.
■ Realtime Recording
This method lets you record performance data in real time. There are two ways to use
realtime recording: Quick and Multi.
Quick Recording (page 96)
This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano
song you are practicing. You can select from four parts: right hand, left hand
and auto accompaniment/multi pad. For example, you can record only your
right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right
hand and the auto accompaniment.
Multi Recording (page 97)
This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create
the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument
individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over
an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance.
■ Step Recording (page 99)
This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event
at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method — similar to writing
music notation onto paper. By using the Event List (page 108-110), you can input
notes, chords and other events one by one.
■ Song Editing (page 105)
The PSR-2100/1100 also lets you edit the songs you’ve recorded by the Quick
Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods.
When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded song, use the Punch
IN/OUT function (page 104).

Whether you’ve recorded a song using Quick Recording, Multi Recording, or Step Recording, you can use the editing
features to change the song data.
Editing Channel-related Parameters — Channel
Calling up the operations here apply to step 4 on page 99. To call up the display shown below, use the [BACK]/[NEXT]
buttons.
Quantize
Quantize lets you “clean up” or tighten the timing of a previously recorded channel. For example, the following
musical passage has been written with exact quarter-note and eighth-note values.
Even though you think you may have recorded the passage accurately, your actual performance may be slightly ahead
of or behind the beat. Quantize allows you to align all the notes in a channel so that the timing is absolutely accurate to
the specified note value (see below).
■ About Quantize Size
Set the Quantize size to correspond to the smallest notes in the channel you are working with. For example, if the
data was recorded with both quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 note for the Quantize size. If you apply a 1/4
note Quantize size, the eighth notes would be moved on top of the quarter notes.

Determines how strongly the

the specified amount.
Applying less than 100%
quantization lets you
preserve some of the
“human” feel in the
recording.
Executes the Quantize
operation. After the
operation is completed, this
button changes to [UNDO],
letting you restore the
original data if you’re not
satisfied with the Quantize
results. The Undo function
only has one level; only the
previous operation can be
undone.

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different
note values at the same time, without compromising the quantization of either one. For example, if you have both straight 1/8 notes
and 1/8 note triplets recorded to the same channel, and you quantize to straight 1/8 notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to
straight 1/8 notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel in the rhythm. However, if you use the 1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet setting,
both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator
This powerful feature lets you create your own original styles, which can then be used for auto accompaniment — just
as with the preset styles.
About Creating Accompaniment Styles
The chart at right shows the basic parts (or “channels”) that make up each section
of an accompaniment style. To create an accompaniment style, record patterns to
the various channels one by one, for each of the sections you want to create.
■ Realtime Recording (page 113)
You can record accompaniment styles by simply playing the parts from the
keyboard in real time. However, you don’t have to record every part yourself
— you can choose an existing preset accompaniment style that is close to the
style you want, then add or replace parts in that style as needed to create your
own custom style.
Realtime Recording Characteristics
• Loop recording
Since auto accompaniment playback repeats the accompaniment patterns of several measures in a “loop,” you can
also record patterns in a loop. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two
measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next loop (repetition), letting you
record new material while hearing the parts you previously recorded.
• Overdub recording
This feature lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In style recording, the recorded data remains intact, unless you specifically delete it yourself. For
example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated. As you record
notes to each pass of the loop (repetition), those notes play back from the next loop, letting you overdub new
material while hearing the previous parts.
■ Step Recording (page 114)
This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows
you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This is
ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are
difficult to play.
■ Assembling an Accompaniment Style (page 115)
This convenient feature lets you create composite styles by combining
various patterns from the internal preset accompaniment styles. For
example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat style, you
could take rhythm patterns from the “8 Beat 1” style, use the bass
pattern from “8 Beat 2,” and import the chord patterns from the “60’s 8
Beat” style — combining the various elements to create one
accompaniment style.
■ Editing the created Accompaniment Style (page 116)
With the editing features, you can custom edit the styles you’ve
created by real time recording, step recording, and assembling from other styles.

Style File Format
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of
Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into
a single unified format. By using the edit
functions, you can take full advantage of the
SFF format and freely create your own styles.
The chart at right indicates the process by
which the accompaniment is played back.
(This does not apply to the rhythm channels.)
The basic or “source” pattern in the chart is the
original style data. This source pattern is
recorded using accompaniment style
recording (see below).
As shown in the chart at right, the actual
output of the accompaniment is determined by
various parameter settings and chord changes
(played in Auto Accompaniment section of the
keyboard) entered to this source pattern.
Source Pattern
1 Source Root (root note of basic chord)
2 Source Chord (type of basic chord)
Pitch Conversion
3 NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
4 NTT (Note Transposition Table)
Other Settings
5 High Key (threshold of the pitch
conversion)
6 Note Limit (soundable range)
7 RTR (Retrigger Rule; how the pitches of
the chord change)
Output
These are the patterns
recorded to the
accompaniment styles
(page 119).
This data is created by
chords played in the
Auto Accompaniment
section of the
keyboard (page 65).
These settings are
edited from the
PARAMETER display.
These parameters
determine how the

With this method, you can create a style pattern by entering notes and other data individually, without having to
perform them in real time. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 112.
The actual recording process is the same as in Step Recording of songs (page 99), with the exception of the points
described below. You can also edit each event from the Edit page, and the editing process the same as in editing songs
(page 108).
•
In song recording, the end mark position can be changed freely. However, it cannot be changed when creating
accompaniment styles. This is because the length of the accompaniment style is automatically fixed according to the
selected section. For example, when creating an accompaniment style based on a four-measure section, the end mark
position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed from the Step Record screen.
• When editing the data recorded on the Edit page, you can switch between the type of data you want to edit (event
data or control data). Press the [F] (TRACK EVT) button to switch between the Event display (Note, Control Change,
etc.) and the Control display (System Exclusive, etc.).
Make sure to set the record channel from another display (e.g., BASIC display; page 112) beforehand.

Recording — Precautions
•The basic chord used for the accompaniment style is called the source chord.
All chords that play and the pitches that sound are derived from the source
chord. When recording the Main and Fill In sections (for a source chord of CM7),
keep the following points in mind:
* When recording to the Bass or Phrase channels, try to use only the
recommended notes; this will ensure that you can play various chords with the accompaniment style and get
optimum results. (Other notes may work, providing you use them as short passing tones.)
* When recording to the Chord or Pad channels, use only the notes of the CM7 chord; this will ensure that you
can play various chords with the accompaniment style and get optimum results. (Other notes may work,
providing you use them as short passing tones.)
The source chord is set by default to CM7; however, you can change this to any chord you prefer. Refer to the
section “Making Style File Format Settings – Parameter” on page 119.
• When recording Intro and Ending sections, you can ignore the source chord and use any notes or chord
progressions you like. In this case, if you set the NTR parameter to “ROOT TRANSPOSE” and NTT to
“HARMONIC MINOR” or “MELODIC MINOR” (in the PARAMETER page), the normal pitch conversions that
would result from playing different chords are cancelled (for playback) — meaning that the accompaniment
pitch conversion will only occur for changes in the root note or major/minor shifts.
You can also select the
desired section for recording
by pressing appropriate
panel button. Pressing one
of the Section buttons calls
up the SECTION display,
from which you can change
sections by using the [6▲▼]/

Change the Rhythmic Feel — Groove and Dynamics
These versatile features give you a wide variety of tools for changing the rhythmic feel of your created accompaniment
style. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 112.
■ Groove
Groove parameters
Original Beat Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is
applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.
Beat Converter Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For
example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are
shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12
Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting.
Swing Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above.
For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is 8th notes, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th,
6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of
swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced.
Fine Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to
be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine
which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat —but not including the first beat — will be played early
or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B”
types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

Editing the Channel Data
In this display, there are five different channel-related edit functions, including Quantize, for editing the recorded
accompaniment style data. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 112.
■ Quantize
Refer to page 105.
■ Velocity Change
Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel (selected with the [1▲▼]/[2▲▼] (CHANNEL)
buttons), according to the specified percentage (selected with the [4▲▼]/[5▲▼] (BOOST/CUT) buttons).
■ Bar Copy
This function allows data to be copied from one measure or group of measures to another location within the
specified channel. Use the [4▲▼] (TOP) and [5▲▼] (LAST) buttons to specify the first and last measures in the
region to be copied. Use the [6▲▼] (DEST) button to specify the first measure of the destination location, to which
the data is to be copied.
■ Bar Clear
This function clears all data from the specified range of measures within the selected channel. Use the [4▲▼] (TOP)
and [5▲▼] (LAST) buttons to specify the first and last measures in the region to be cleared.
■ Remove Event
This function lets you remove specific events from the selected channel. Use the [4▲▼] - [6▲▼] (EVENT) buttons
to select the desired event type to be removed.

Making Style File Format Settings — Parameter
This display provides a variety of style controls— such as determining how the pitch and sound of the recorded style
change when playing the chords in the left-hand range of the keyboard. For details about the relationship between the
parameters, refer to “Style File Format” on page 112. The operations here are the same as described in step 4 on page 112.
■ Source Root/Chord
These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default
setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Source Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data
is deleted prior to recording a new style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you
change Source Root / Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also
change, depending on the newly selected chord type. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 114.
■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule) and NTT (Note Transposition Table)
• NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
This determines the system for pitch conversion of the source pattern. Two settings are available.
Root Trans (Root Transpose)
When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3,
E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that
contain melody lines.
Root Fixed
The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key
of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts.
When NTR is set to “Root
Fixed” and NTT is set to
“Bypass,” the “Source
Root” and “Source Chord”
parameters are changed to
“Play Root” and “Play
Chord,” respectively. In this
case, you can change
chords and hear the result-
ing sound for all channels.

• NTT (Note Transposition Table)
This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Six transposition types are available.
Bypass
No transposition.
Melody
Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.
Chord
Suitable for chord transposition. Use for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano
or guitar-like chordal parts.
Bass
Suitable for bass line transposition. This table is basically similar to the Melody table above, but recognizes on-
bass chords allowed in the FINGERED ON BASS fingering mode. Use this primarily for bass lines.
Melodic Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by
a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a
semitone. Other notes are not changed.
Harmonic Minor
When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in
the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth
intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed.
■ High Key/Note Limit
• High Key
This sets the highest key (upper octave limit)
of the note transposition for the chord root
change. Any notes calculated to be higher
than the highest key are transposed down to
the octave just below the highest key. This
setting is effective only when the NTR
parameter (page 119) is set to “Root Trans.”
• Note Limit
This sets the note range (highest and lowest
notes) for voices recorded to the style
channels. By judicious setting of this range,
you can ensure that the voices sound as
realistic as possible — in other words, that no
notes outside the natural range are sounded
(e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo
sound). The actual notes that sound are
automatically shifted to the set range.
■ RTR (Retrigger Rule)
These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord
changes.
Stop
The notes stop sounding.
Pitch Shift
The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord.
Pitch Shift to Root
The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord.
Retrigger
The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord.
Retrigger To Root
The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note
remains the same.

Effect Structure
The PSR-2100/1100 features the following digital effect systems. The effect type, depth, and various parameters can be
set with the panel controls.
About the Effect Connections – System and Insertion
All the effect blocks are connected or routed in one of two ways: System or Insertion. System applies the selected effect
to all parts, while Insertion applies the selected effect to one specific part. Reverb and Chorus are System effects, and
DSP 2 - DSP 4 (PSR-2100 only) are Insertion effects. The DSP1/DSP effect, on the other hand, can be configured for
either System or Insertion routing.
The illustration below shows how the various effect blocks are set up and traces the signal flow for the send/return
controls set on the PSR-2100/1100.

Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the
room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the
level for each band. The equalizer allows you to adjust the tone or timbre of the sound to match the performance space,
or to compensate for certain acoustic characteristics in your room. For example, you can cut some of the low range
frequencies when playing on stages or in large studio spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high
frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.The PSR-2100 possesses
a high grade five-band digital equalizer function. With this function, a final effect —tone control— can be added to the
output of your instrument.

Using a Microphone — MIC. (PSR-2100 only)
This extraordinarily powerful feature uses advanced voice-processing technology to automatically produce vocal
harmony based on a single lead vocal. Four distinct harmony modes as well as an extensive selection of preset harmony
types are provided. In addition to straightforward harmony, the PSR-2100 also lets you change the apparent gender of
the harmony and/or lead vocal sound. For example, if you are a male singer, you can have the PSR-2100 automatically
generate a two-part female backup. A comprehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and flexible
control over the vocal harmony sound.

Vocal Harmony Parameter List
Chordal Type/Vocoder Type Determines how the harmony notes are applied.
Harmony Gender Type Can be set to “Off” or “Auto”. When “Auto”, the gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically.
Lead Gender Type Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be
changed. When “Off” no gender change occurs. When ”Unison”, “Male” or “Female” is selected the
corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. (In this case the number of harmony notes which
can be produced in addition to the lead vocal is reduced to one.)
Lead Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change produced when one of the Lead Gender Types (above) is
selected.
Lead Pitch Correction When “Correct” is selected the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. This parameter is
only effective when one of the Lead Gender Types is selected.
Auto Upper Gender Threshold Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones
above the lead vocal pitch.
Auto Lower Gender Threshold Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones
below the lead vocal pitch.
Upper Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the Auto Upper Gender
Threshold.
Lower Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the Auto Lower Gender
Threshold.
Vibrato Depth Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound if a Lead Gender
Type is selected.
Vibrato Rate Sets the speed of the vibrato effect.
Vibrato Delay Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced.
Harmony1 Volume Sets the volume of the first harmony note.
Harmony2 Volume Sets the volume of the second harmony note.
Harmony1 Pan Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo position
of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.
Harmony2 Pan Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the second harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo
position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played.
Harmony1 Detune Detunes the first harmony note by the specified number of cents.
Harmony2 Detune Detunes the second harmony note by the specified number of cents.
Pitch to Note When “ON” the lead vocal sound “plays” the PSR-2100 tone generator system. (However, dynamic changes
in the vocal sound do not affect the volume of the tone generator.)
Pitch to Note Part Determines which of the PSR-2100 parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note
parameter is “ON”.

■ 3BAND EQ (3-BAND EQUALIZER)
Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the
room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the
level for each band. The PSR-2100 features a high grade three-band digital equalizer function for the microphone sound.
Hz .............. Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band.
dB............... Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB.
■ NOISE GATE
This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively
cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass.
SW.............. “SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Noise Gate on or off.
TH. ............. “TH.” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open.

■ COMPRESSOR
This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is
useful when recording a signal with widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft
parts louder and loud parts softer.
SW.............. “SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Compressor on or off.
TH. ............. “TH.” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be
applied.
RATIO ........ This adjusts the compression ratio.
OUT ........... Adjusts the final output level.
■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL
The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled.
VOCODER CONTROL
The Vocal Harmony effect is controlled by note data — the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the
song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony.
• SONG CHANNEL
MUTE/PLAY:
When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below is muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song
playback.
OFF:
Song data control over harmony is turned off.
1-16:
When playing back a song from disk or external MIDI sequencer, the note data recorded to the assigned song
channel controls the harmony.
• KEYBOARD
OFF: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off.
UPPER: Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony.
LOWER: Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony.
BALANCE
This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value
increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead
Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output.
MODE
All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony
effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony Mode and Track, and this parameter determines how the
harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below.
VOCODER:
The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard (Main, Layer and Left) and/ or song
data which includes Vocal Harmony tracks.
CHORDAL:
During accompaniment playback, chords played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard control the
harmony. During song playback, chords contained in song data control the harmony. (Not available if the song
does not contain any chord data.)
AUTO:
When the auto accompaniment or Left part is set to ON and if chord data exists in the song, the mode is
automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER.
CHORD
The following parameters specify the song data which will be used for chord detection.
OFF: Chords are not detected.
XF: Chords of XF format are detected.
1-16: Chords are detected from note data in the specified song channel.
■ MIC (MICROPHONE)
The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled.
MUTE .............. When set to OFF, the microphone sound is turned off.
VOLUME ......... Adjusts the volume of the microphone sound.

PSR-2100/1100
Scale
■ Equal Temperament
The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This
is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
■ Pure Major/Pure Minor
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth).
You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and acapella singing.
■ Pythagorean
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are
collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and
suitable for some leads.
■ Mean-Tone
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in
tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
■ Werckmeister/Kirnberger
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on
the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character.
The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when
performing period music on the harpsichord.
■ Arabic
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

Setting Song-related Parameters — Song Settings
Quick Start
On some commercially avail-
able song data, certain set-
tings related to the song
(such as voice selection, vol-
ume, etc.) are recorded to
the first measure, before the
actual note data. When
Quick Start is set to “ON,”
the PSR-2100/1100 reads
all initial non-note data of the
song at the highest possible
speed, then automatically
slows down to the appropri-
ate tempo at the first note.
This allows you to start play-
back as quickly as possible,
with a minimum pause for
reading of data.

Changing the Automatically Selected Voice Settings — Voice Set
When changing voices (selecting a voice file), the settings best matching the voice — the same as those set in the Sound
Creator — are always and automatically called up. From this page, you can set the on/off status for each part. For
example, each of the preset voices has its own LEFT PEDAL setting; however, even changing voices will not change the
LEFT PEDAL setting, if it is set to “OFF” in this page.

About the Harmony Types
When a normal Harmony type (“Standard Duet” through “Strum”) is selected
When “Multi Assign” is selected
Multi Assign automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to
separate parts (voices). For example, if you play two consecutive notes, the first is played by the Main voice and the
second by the Layer voice.
When “Echo” is selected
An echo effect is applied to the note played on the keyboard, in time with the currently set tempo.
When “Tremolo” is selected
A tremolo effect is applied to the note played on the keyboard, in time with the currently set tempo.
When “Trill” is selected
Two notes held on the keyboard are played alternately, in time with the currently set tempo.
About the Harmony Assignments
AUTO
Harmony notes are automatically assigned the MAIN and LAYER parts.
Multi
This automatically assigns the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th added harmony notes to different parts (voices). For example, if the
Main and Layer parts are turned on and the “Standard Duet” type is selected, the note you play on the keyboard will be
played by the Main voice, and the added harmony note will be played by the Layer voice.
Main
Harmony is applied only to the Main part. When the Main part is turned off, Harmony is not applied.
Layer
Harmony is applied only to the Layer part. When the Layer part is turned off, Harmony is not applied.
Split point
Chords played to the left of the
split point control the harmony.
Harmony notes (based on the chord
and the selected type) are automatically
added to the melody played to the right
of the split point.

In this section, you can make MIDI-related settings for the instrument. These settings can be stored all together from the
USER display, for future recall.For general information and details about MIDI, see “What is MIDI?” (page 158).
The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136.
Making Overall System Settings (Local Control, Clock, etc.) — System
Call up the display as described in step 2 above.
Local Control
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the PSR-2100/1100
controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If
you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the PSR-2100/1100’s tone
generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows
you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the PSR-2100/1100’s internal voices, and use the PSR-2100/1100
keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.

■ Clock
Determines whether the PSR-2100/1100 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from
an external device. “INTERNAL” is the normal Clock setting when the PSR-2100/1100 is being used alone. If you are
using the PSR-2100/1100 with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want the PSR-
2100/1100 to be synchronized to the external device, set this function to “EXTERNAL.” In the latter case, the
external device must be connected to the PSR-2100/1100 MIDI IN terminal, and must be transmitting an
appropriate MIDI clock signal.
■ Transmit Clock
Turns MIDI clock transmission on or off. When this is set to “OFF,” no MIDI clock or START/STOP data is
transmitted.
■ Receive Transpose
When this parameter is set to “OFF,” note data received by the PSR-2100/1100 is not transposed, and when it is set
to “ON,” the received note data is transposed according to the current PSR-2100/1100 keyboard transpose
(page 144) setting.
■ Start/Stop
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect song or
style playback.

(standard 1/4" phone jack).
2
Set the [MIC. LINE] switch (located next to the MIC./
LINE IN jack) to the MIC. position.
3
Use the [INPUT VOLUME]
knob (located next to the
MIC./LINE IN jack) to set the
microphone volume then
trying singing into the
microphone.
The volume should be set high enough that the
SIGNAL lamp on the top panel lights steadily when
you sing, but not so high that the OVER lamp lights
(page 131).
Before connecting the PSR-2100/1100 to other electronic compo-
nents, turn off the power to all the components. Before turning the
power on or off to all components, set all volume levels to minimum
(0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may
occur.

6 Connecting to a Computer
(USB terminal, MIDI terminal)
Connecting your PSR-2100/1100 to a computer allows
you to transfer data back and forth between the two and
take advantage of the powerful and versatile music
software available. You can connect the devices in one of
two ways:
■ Using the USB terminal
■ Using the MIDI terminals
The MIDI terminals cannot be used when the USB
terminal is in use.
An appropriate MIDI application for your computer
platform is required.
For details about the necessary MIDI settings for computer
and sequence software you are using, refer to the relevant
owner’s manuals.
Using the USB terminal
Connect the USB terminal of a computer to the USB
terminal of the PSR-2100/1100 using a USB cable. Make
sure to use a standard USB cable with the USB logo.
Using the MIDI terminals
When using a MIDI interface device installed in the
personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the
personal computer and the PSR-2100/1100 with standard
MIDI cables.
• When the computer has a MIDI interface installed,
connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the personal
computer to the MIDI IN terminal.
About the USB driver

What’s MIDI?
Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as
representative acoustic instruments. With the piano, you
strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and
plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string
and the note sounds.
But how does a digital instrument go about playing a
note?
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic
instrument, the sampled note (previously recorded note)
stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is
played based on information received from the keyboard,
and output through the speakers.
Now let’s examine what happens when we play back a
recording. When you playback a music CD (for example,
a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual sound
(vibrations in air) of the acoustic instrument. This is called
audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data.
In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the
pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as
audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play
back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the
actual piano performance. The piano itself is not
necessary, since the recording contains the actual sounds
of the piano, and your speakers reproduce them.

PSR-2100/1100
The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration
above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic
example. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard
is captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In
order to record the audio performance on an acoustic
piano, special recording equipment is needed. However,
since the PSR-2100/1100 features a built-in sequencer
that lets you record performance data, this recording
equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instrument
— the PSR-2100/1100 — allows you to both record and
play back the data.
However, we also need a sound source to produce the
audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The
tone generator of the PSR-2100/1100 fills this function.
The recorded performance is reproduced by the
sequencer, playing back the song data, using a tone
generator capable of accurately producing various
instrument sounds — including that of a piano. Looked at
in another way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone
generator is similar to that of the pianist and the piano —
one plays the other. Since digital instruments handle
playback data and the actual sounds independently, we
can hear our piano performance played by another
instrument, such as guitar or violin.
Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets
recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the
sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note
using the grand piano sound on the PSR-2100/1100
keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a
resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out
information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,”
“with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it
pressed” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of
information is changed into a number value and sent to
the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the
tone generator plays the stored sampled note.
■ Example Keyboard Data
Panel operations on the PSR-2100/1100, such as playing
the keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and
stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment styles and
songs also consist of MIDI data.
MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument
Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical
instruments to communicate with each other, by sending
and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program
Change and various other types of MIDI data, or
messages.
The PSR-2100/1100 can control a MIDI device by
transmitting note related data and various types of
controller data.The PSR-2100/1100 can be controlled by
incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine
the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices
and effects, change parameter values and of course play
the voices specified for the various parts.
MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel
messages and System messages.
■ Channel Messages
The PSR-2100/1100 is an electronic instrument that can
handle 16 channels (or 32 channels, when using the USB
terminal). This is usually expressed as “it can play 16
instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit
information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for
each of the 16 channels.

Even though it is a single musical instrument, the PSR-2100/1100
can be thought of as containing several electronic components: a
controller, a tone generator, and a sequencer.

MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data:
• The amount of data is much less, letting you easily store MIDI
songs to floppy disk.
• The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point of
changing voices and transforming the data.
The performance data of all songs and styles is handled as MIDI
data.

MIDI channels
MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen
MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 - 16, the
performance data for sixteen different instrument parts
can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.
Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV
station transmits its broadcasts over a specific
channel.Your home TV set receives many different
programs simultaneously from several TV stations and
you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired
program.
MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The
transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific
MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single
MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving
instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel)
matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument
will sound according to the data sent by the
transmitting instrument.
For example, several tracks (channels) can be
transmitted simultaneously, including the style data (as
shown below).
Example: Recording the auto accompaniment of the PSR-2100/
1100 to an external sequencer
As you can see, it is essential to determine which data
is to be sent over which MIDI channel when
transmitting MIDI data (page 149). The PSR-2100/1100
also allows you to determine how the received data is
played back. (page 150).
■ System Messages
This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI
system. System messages include messages like Exclusive
Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument
manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the
MIDI device.
The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-2100/1100
are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI
Implementation Chart in the separate Data List.
What You Can Do With MIDI
The following MIDI settings can be made on the PSR-
2100/1100:
• MIDI templates (preset MIDI setups for various
applications) (page 148)
•Transmit (page 149)
• Receive (page 150)
• Local Control (page 148)
• Clock (page 149)
■ Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the
PSR-2100/1100 Auto Accompaniment features on a
external sequencer (such as a personal computer).
After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then
play it again on the PSR-2100/1100 (playback).
When you want to use the PSR-2100/1100 as an XG-
compatible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive
part for MIDI channels 1 to 16 to “SONG” in MIDI
Receive (page 150).

MIDI Data Compatibility
This section covers basic information on data
compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can
playback the data recorded by PSR-2100/1100, and
whether or not the PSR-2100/1100 can playback
commercially available song data or song data created for
other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the
MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to
play back the data without any problem, or you may have
to perform some special operations before the data can be
played back. If you run into problems playing back data,
please refer to the information below.
Disk format
Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used
with various devices, including computers. Different
devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it
is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system
of the device being used.This operation is called
“formatting.”
•There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double
sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided,
high density), and each type has different formatting
systems.
• PSR-2100/1100 can record and playback with both
types of floppy disks.
• When formatted by the PSR-2100/1100, a 2DD disk
stores up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores
up to1.44 MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and
“1.44MB” indicate the data memory capacity. They are
also used to indicate the format type of disk.)
• Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be
used is compatible with the format of the disk.
Sequence Format
The system which records song data is called “sequence
format.”
Playback is only possible when the sequence format of
the disk matches that of the MIDI device. The PSR-2100/
1100 is compatible with the following formats.
■ SMF (Standard MIDI File)
This is the most common sequence format.
Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two
types: Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are
compatible with Format 0, and most commercially
available software is recorded as Format 0.
•The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with both Format 0
and Format 1.
• Song data recorded on the PSR-2100/1100 is
automatically recorded as SMF Format 0.
• Song data loaded to the PSR-2100/1100 is
automatically saved as SMF Format 0 regardless of the
original format.
■ ESEQ
This sequence format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR-2100/1100
series instruments.This is a common format used with
various Yamaha software.
■ XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI
File) format with greater functionality and open-ended
expandability for the future.
•The PSR-2100/1100 is capable of displaying lyrics
when an XF file containing lyric data is played.
■ Style File
The Style File Format – SFF – is Yamaha’s original style file
format which uses a unique conversion system to provide
high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide
range of chord types.

Voice Allocation Format
With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers,
called “program numbers.” The numbering standard
(order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice
allocation format.”
Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice
allocation format of the song data matches that of the
compatible MIDI device used for playback.
The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with the following
formats.
■ GM System Level 1
This is one of the most common voice allocation formats.
• Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System
Level1, as is most commercially available software.
■ XG
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1
format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to
provide more voices and variations, as well as greater
expressive control over voices and effects, and to ensure
compatibility of data well into the future.
• Song data recorded on the PSR-2100/1100 using
voices in the [XG] category is XG-compatible.
■ DOC
This voice allocation format is compatible with many of
Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR series
instruments. This is also a common format used with
various Yamaha software.
Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above,
the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the
specifications of the devices and particular data recording
methods.

PSR-2100/1100
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
• The PSR-2100/1100 does not turn on; there
is no power.
Make sure that the PSR-2100/1100 has been plugged in properly (page 16).
•A click or pop is heard when the power is
turned on or off.
This is normal when electrical current is applied to the instrument.
• Noise is heard from the PSR-2100/1100’s
speakers.
Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-2100/1100 may produce
interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from
the PSR-2100/1100.
• The display is too bright or too dark to read. The brightness of the display may be affected by the surrounding temperature;
try adjusting the contrast (page 17).
• The keyboard volume is low compared to that
of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback.
The overall keyboard volume or the independent volume level of the keyboard
part may be set too low. Raise the MAIN/LAYER/LEFT volume voices or lower
the STYLE/SONG volume in the BALANCE display (page 64).
• The volume of the Auto Accompaniment or
song playback is low compared to that of the
keyboard.
The volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song channels is set
too low. Raise the part or channel level(s) in the appropriate MIXER display
(page 125).
• The overall volume is low, or no sound is
heard.
• The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level with the
[MASTER VOLUME] dial.
• The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume of
MAIN, LAYER, LEFT, STYLE, and SONG in the BALANCE display (page 64).
• Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 64, 81).
• Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the
headphones.
• Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 148).
• Not all simultaneously-played notes sound. You may be exceeding the maximum polyphony of the PSR-2100/1100. When
this happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest
played notes sound. See page 165 for information on the maximum polyphony.
• Accompaniment style or Song playback does
not start.
• MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL”
(page 149).
• Make sure to press the appropriate [START/STOP] button. To play an
accompaniment style, press the STYLE [START/STOP] button (page 64); to
playback a song, press the SONG [START/STOP] button (page 79).
• “New Song” (a blank song) has been selected. Make sure to select an
appropriate song in the SONG display (page 79).
• The song has been stopped at the end of the song data. Return to the
beginning of the song by pressing the [TOP] button (page 81).
• The Multi Pads do not play back, even when
one of the MULTI PAD buttons is pressed.
MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL”
(page 149).
• Only the rhythm channel plays. Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP]
button.
• The accompaniment style does not start,
even when Synchro Start is in standby
condition and a key is pressed.
You may be trying to start accompaniment by playing a key in the right hand
range of the keyboard. Make sure to play a key in the left-hand (accompaniment)
range of the keyboard.
• The desired chord is not recognized or output
by the auto accompaniment.
•You may not be playing the correct keys to indicate the chord. Refer to “Chord
Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode” (page 66).
•You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not
the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the
keys according to the selected mode (page 65).
• An unexpected result or malfunction occurred
during an operation.
If, during execution of an operation, you simultaneously press three or more
buttons that are unrelated to the operation or normal procedure, unexpected or
unusual results may occur.
•Auto accompaniment chords are recognized
regardless of the split point or where chords
are played on the keyboard.
This is normal if the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard.”
If either of these is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the
keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If desired, select a different
fingering mode (page 65).
Troubleshooting
PSR-2100/1100
164
• Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch. The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than “Equal,”
changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as
the Scale in the Scale Tune page (page 138).
• Some channels do not properly play back
when playing back song data.
Make sure that playback of the relevant channel(s) is turned on (page 81).
• If you experience distorted or out-of-tune
sound from the Vocal Harmony feature, your
vocal microphone may be picking up
extraneous sounds (other than your voice) —
the Auto Accompaniment sound from the
PSR-2100/1100, for example. In particular,
bass sounds can cause mistracking of the
Vocal Harmony feature (PSR-2100 only).
The solution to this problem is to ensure that as little extraneous sound as
possible is picked up by your vocal microphone:
• Sing as closely to the microphone as possible.
• Use a directional microphone.
•Turn down the MASTER VOLUME or volume for each part.
• Separate the microphone from the instrument's speakers as much as possible.
• Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the MICROPHONE SETTING
display (page 133).
• Increase the microphone input level (“TH.”) in the Compressor function from
the MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 133).
• Appropriate harmony notes are not produced
by the Vocal Harmony feature (PSR-2100
only).
Make sure you are using the appropriate method to specify the harmony notes
for the current Vocal Harmony mode. See page 134.
• The Harmony function does not operate. Harmony cannot be used with the Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard fingering
modes. Select an appropriate fingering mode (page 65).
• The microphone input signal and Vocal
Harmony sound (PSR-2100 only) cannot be
recorded.
This is normal; recording the audio input of the microphone is not possible.
• MIDI data is not transmitted or received via
the MIDI terminals, even when MIDI cables
are connected properly.
Remove the USB cable from the PSR-2100/1100’s USB terminal.
• When a voice is changed, the previously
selected effect is changed.
Each voice has its own suitable preset values which are automatically recalled
when the corresponding Voice Set parameters are turned on (page 146).
• There is a slight difference in sound quality
between notes played on the keyboard.
• Some voices have a looping sound.
• Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher
pitches, depending upon the voice.
This is normal and is a result of the PSR-2100/1100’s sampling system.
• Some voices will jump an octave in pitch
when played in the upper or lower registers.
This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this
type of pitch shift.
•Even though a Registration Memory setting
containing a User voice is selected, the Open/
Save display shows a Preset voice.
This is normal; even with the Preset voice shown, the actual sounding voice is
the selected User voice.
When a User voice is registered to the User drive or floppy disk, the actual
registered is: 1) the source Preset voice, and 2) the parameter settings as set in
the Sound Creator. When you recall a Registration Memory setting containing a
User voice, the PSR-2100/1100 selects the Preset voice (on which the User
voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter settings to it – so that your
original User voice is sounded.
• Disk save operations take a long time. This is normal. Keep in mind that it takes approximately 1 minute to save 1
megabyte of data to a floppy disk.
• The voice produces excessive noise.
Certain voices may produce noise, depending on the Harmonic Content and/or
Brightness settings in the FILTER page of the Mixing Console display (page 126).
• The sound is distorted or noisy. • The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings
are appropriate.
• This may be caused by the effects. Try canceling all unnecessary effects,
especially distortion-type effects (page 127).
• Some filter resonance settings in the Custom Voice Creator display (page 92)
can result in distorted sound. Adjust these settings if necessary.
• Is the gain of the Low band set too high in the Master Equalizer display
(Mixing Console — page 130)? (PSR-2100 only)
•A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound
occurs. Also, the sound is slightly different
each time the keys are played.
Both the Main and Layer parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the
same voice. Set the Layer part to “OFF” (page 59) or change the voice for each
part (page 57).

If you notice any abnormality • If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor Location • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, • • always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or • • • • (3)-7 extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables. Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. 1/2 PSR-2100/1100 3 Connections Saving data • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Saving and backing up your data • Some of the current memory data (see page 42) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a floppy disk/the User Drive (see page 39, 47). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk. Maintenance When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Handling caution Backing up the floppy disk • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the • • • • To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks. gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. Caution for data operations Make sure NEVER to turn the PSR-2100/1100’s power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/ FLOPPY DISK drives — such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting — until the operation is completely finished. (Make sure to wait until the alert message disappears.) Turning the power off during the operation results in the loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive. Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the power while performing a save/delete/paste operation with the USER drive may result in loss of ALL data on the USER drive (upon the next power on) — and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing a save/delete/ paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the operation is completed, you risk losing ALL your USER drive data — including all voices, styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory presets you’ve saved to the USER drive. This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 154). Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. (3)-7 4 PSR-2100/1100 2/2 Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PSR-2100/1100!

Follow the important precautions below. Compatible Disk Type • 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: • Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. Drive lamp When the power is turned on, the drive lamp (at the bottom left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used. • Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the data is being written to the floppy disk. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand. • If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a halfpressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. • Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors. Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that data is not being written to the floppy disk. If data is currently being written to the floppy disk in the following operations, the messages “Now executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting” appears in the display. • Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data (page 45 - 47). • Naming files and folders (page 44); creating a new folder (page 47). • Copying a disk to an another disk (page 153); formatting the disk (page 153). • Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. • To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks. • Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. Eject button PSR-2100/1100 7 About the Floppy Disks To handle floppy disks with care: • Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. • Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. • Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. • Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. • Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. • Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. To protect your data (Write-protect Tab): • To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). write-protect tab open (protect position) Data backup • For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to Disk function on page 153. About the Display Messages A message (information or confirmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the corresponding button. F G H I J For this example, press the [G] (YES) button to execute formatting. 8 PSR-2100/1100 You can select the desired language from the Help display (page 52).

Quick Guide 29 Playing Styles Style Sections Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings, Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professionalsounding arrangements. INTRO MAIN BREAK ENDING 1-3 4 This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section. This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures, and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops automatically. Use the same operations as in “Playing a style” on pages 28 and 29. Press the [INTRO] button. 5 MAIN BREAK INTRO ENDING / rit. As soon as you play a chord with your left hand, the Intro starts. For this example, play a C major chord (as shown below).

(max. three patterns) • An Intro doesn’t necessarily have to be at the beginning! If you want, you can play an Intro section in the middle of your performance by simply pressing the [INTRO] button at the desired point. • Watch your timing with the Break sections. If you press a [BREAK] button too close to the end of the measure (i.e., after the final eighth note), the Break section starts playing from the next measure. This also applies to the Auto Fill-in. • Mix up your intros and use any of the other sections to start the style, if you want. • If you want to come back into the style right away after an Ending, simply press the [INTRO] button while the Ending section is playing. • If you press the [BREAK] button while the ending is playing, the break will immediately start playing, continuing with the main section. Other Controls FADE IN/OUT FADE IN/OUT TAP TEMPO TAP TEMPO SYNC.STOP SYNC. STOP The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-ins and fade-outs (page 68)when starting and stopping the style.

Much of this data is already programmed and contained in the PSR-2100/1100; you can also create and edit your own data with some of the functions on the instrument. All this data is stored in separate files — just as is done on a computer. Here, we’ll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in handling and organizing the data of the PSR-2100/1100 in files and folders. Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save displays. You can select these displays according to their respective file types, as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data efficiently by putting various files of the same type into a single folder. The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, Multi Pad Bank and Registration Bank can be called up from the MAIN display (the display shown when the power is turned on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.

PSR-2100/1100 39 Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data Example — Open/Save display Each Open/Save display consists of three kinds of drive pages: PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK. In the examples given here, the Open/Save display for Voice is shown. PRESET drive The files that are preprogrammed and installed internally to the PSR-2100/1100 are kept here. Preset files can be loaded but cannot be re-written. However, you can use a preset file as a basis for creating your own original file (which can be saved in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive). USER drive Files kept here are those containing your own original data, created or edited using the various functions of the PSR2100/1100. They are stored internally to the PSR-2100/1100. FLOPPY DISK drive You can also store your original data to floppy disk. Commercially available disk software can also be called up here. Naturally, these files are available only when the appropriate disk is inserted in the floppy disk drive. BACK NEXT Changes drives among PRESET, USER and FLOPPY DISK. Calls up the upper level directory page. In this example, the voice folder selection page can be called up. File All data, both preprogrammed and your own original, are stored as “files.” 40 PSR-2100/1100 Current Memory “Current Memory” is the area where the voice is called up when you select a voice. Also it is the area where you edit your voice using the SOUND CREATOR function. Your edited voice should then be saved as a file in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive. Recording songs (page 95) and creating accompaniment styles (page 111) are done within the current memory. Please make sure to properly save this data to the USER/FLOPPY DISK drive as a file or files. The data will be lost if you turn off the power without saving. For details, see page 42. Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data ■ Files and Drives You can also manage files (copying, saving, etc.) on the USER drive or floppy disk by using a computer.

Press it again to turn the effect off. For explanations on each of the effects, see below. ■ TOUCH This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When this is set to off, the same volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard. ■ SUSTAIN When this Sustain feature is on, all notes played on the keyboard (MAIN/LAYER parts only) have a longer sustain. You can also set the Sustain depth (page 93). ■ DSP The PSR-2100/1100 features a variety of dynamic built-in digital effects, letting you process the sound in various ways. You can use DSP to enhance the voices in subtle ways — such as by applying chorus to add animation and depth, or using a symphonic effect to give the sound warmth and richness. DSP also has effects such as distortion that can completely change the character of the sound. DSP is set for the currently selected part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). 60 PSR-2100/1100 The DSP and VARIATION effect types and the their depth can be selected and adjusted in the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 127). Voices ■ VARIATION This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 127), this lets you switch the rotor speed between slow and fast. ■ HARMONY/ECHO This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section of the keyboard (page 146). The Portamento effect creates a smooth pitch glide between successively played notes. ■ MONO This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically. Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the Portamento effect, when playing in legato. ■ LEFT HOLD This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the same effect as when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall accompaniment sound. You can add special emphasis to melody lines you play over chords by using the Layer function with a monophonic voice. Set the Main voice to play polyphonically and set the Layer voice to play monophonically (MONO). In this case, the melody you play — including the top notes of any chords — sounds monophonically. Try this using the following voices. MAIN voice: Brass Section (polyphonic) + LAYER voice: Sweet Trump (monophonic) PITCH BEND Wheel & MODULATION Wheel Use the PSR-2100/1100 PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released. The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard (PSR2100). Moving the MODULATION wheel all the way towards yourself minimizes the depth of the effect, while rotating it away from yourself increases it. PITCH BEND The maximum pitch bend range can be changed (page 126). MODULATION In order to avoid accidentally applying modulation set the depth to its minimum setting. Adjusting the Octave setting The [UPPER OCTAVE] button allows the MAIN and LAYER parts to be simultaneously transposed up or down by one octave. UPPER OCTAVE RESET More detailed octave-related settings for each part can be made by using the Mixing Console function (page 126). PSR-2100/1100 61 Styles The PSR-2100/1100 features styles (accompaniment patterns) in a variety of different musical genres including pops, jazz, Latin and dance. To use it, all you have to do is play the chords with your left hand as you perform and the selected Accompaniment Style (style) matching your music will automatically play along, instantly following the chords you play. Try selecting some of the different styles (refer to separate Data List (Style List) ) and play them. STYLE CONTROL ACMP MAIN SYNC. STOP ENDING / rit.

With the style stopped, tap the [TAP TEMPO] button three, four or five times (three for 3/4 time, four for 2/4 or 4/4 time, five for 5/4 time). When you simultaneously play back accompaniment styles with a song, the accompaniment parts recorded to the song (channels 9 - 16) are temporarily replaced by the selected accompaniment style — letting you try out and use different accompaniment with the song (page 80). Accompaniment Style Characteristics The defining characteristics of some of the accompaniment styles are indicated above the relevant style names in the Open/Save display. Session! These styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. As a result, the styles may not necessarily be appropriate — or even harmonically correct — for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad may result in a seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in incorrect or unexpected accompaniment. PSR-2100/1100 63 Styles Playing a Style’s Rhythm Channels only 1 The Rhythm channels are part of the styles. Each style has different rhythm patterns.

Song 1 - 16 Accompaniment Style 9 - 16 PSR2100_E.book Page 65 Tuesday, January 28, 2003 2:11 PM Styles Chord Fingerings The style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the keys to the left of the split point. There are 7 types of fingerings as described below. Go to the CHORD FINGERING page (page 142), and select the Chord Fingerings. The page shows how to play chords with your left hand. SINGLE FINGER Single Finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used. For a major chord, press the root key only. C For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left. Cm For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left. C7 For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left. Cm7 MULTI FINGER The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes. If you want to play minor, seventh, or minor-seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER operation in the MULTI FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord. FINGERED This mode lets you produce accompaniment by playing full chords on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The Fingered mode recognizes the various chord types listed on the next page. FINGERED ON BASS This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED mode, but the lowest note played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. For example, to indicate a C-on-E chord, play a C major chord with E as the lowest note (E, G, C). FULL KEYBOARD This method detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. AI FINGERED This mode is basically the same as FINGERED, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). Chord detection in the AI Full Keyboard mode occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may not be detected. In Full Keyboard mode, chords are detected based on the lowest and second lowest notes you play. If the two lowest notes fall within a single octave, those two notes determine the chord. If the lowest note and the second lowest note are separated by more than one octave, the lowest note becomes the bass and the chord is determined from the second lowest note and the other notes played in the same octave. AI Artificial Intelligence AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced auto accompaniment mode is engaged, the PSR-2100/1100 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This mode is similarto FULL KEYBOARD, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th and 11th chords cannot be played.

When the Main or Layer part’s voice is used, the M/LYR parameter is available; when the Left part’s voice is used, the LEFT parameter is available. PSR-2100/1100 91 Editing the voice -SOUND CREATORSOUND The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Determines the filter, EG, and vibrato settings (see below). 8 ■ FILTER FILTER settings determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. • BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency (resonance) range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. • Harmonic Content Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency, set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. In addition to making the sound either brighter or more mellow, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range Volume Resonance Resonance Frequency (pitch) ■ EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone. • ATTACK ...... Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The higher the value, the slower the attack. Level • DECAY........ Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher the value, the slower the decay. ATTACK Key on • RELEASE ..... Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release. 92 PSR-2100/1100 DECAY RELEASE Time Key off If RELEASE is set to a large value, the sustain becomes long. Editing the voice -SOUND CREATOR■ VIBRATO • DEPTH........ Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. VIBRATO Creates a wavering in the sound by periodically changing the pitch. • SPEED......... Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). • DELAY ........ Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect (see diagram). Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. SPEED Level DEPTH DELAY Time EFFECT/EQ The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90. Determines the DSP type. For information on the effect structure, see page 129; for a list of available effect types, refer to the separate Data List. Determines the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands (PSR-2100 only). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The same as the “Mixing Console” on page 127. Determines the Sustain depth of each voice when the [SUSTAIN] button is set to on. HARMONY The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90. The parameters are the same as for HARMONY/ECHO display of FUNCTION. For details, see page 147. PSR-2100/1100 93 Editing the voice -SOUND CREATOR- Organ Flutes (PSR-2100 only) In addition to the many organ voices in the ORGAN voice category, the PSR-2100/1100 has an ORGAN FLUTES voice. The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 90. Adjust the Footage. ■ Parameters Organ Type This parameter specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. Rotary SP Speed The Rotary SP Speed ([C]) button alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “DSP Type” below), and the VOICE EFFECT [DSP] button is turned on (the Rotary SP Speed button has the same effect as the VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button). Vibrato On/Off This ([G]) button alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes voice ON or OFF. Vibrato Depth Can be set to any of three levels via the Vibrato Depth ([H]) button. The button sequentially selects a depth of “1”, “2”, or “3”. Footage The footage settings determine the basic sound of the organ flutes. The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16’ setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1’ setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds. Volume (VOL) Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. Response (RESP) The Response control affects both the attack and sustain portion of the sound, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value the slower the swell and release. Vibrato Speed (VIB. SPEED) Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off and Vibrato Depth above. Mode The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack is applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all notes. Attack (4’, 2 2/3’, 2’) The ATTACK controls adjust the attack sound of the ORGAN FLUTE voice. The 4’, 2 2/3 ‘and 2’ controls increase or reduce the amount of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the graphic bar the greater the attack sound. Length (LENG) The LENGTH control affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar the longer the decay. Reverb Depth Chorus Depth DSP on/off DSP Depth For details about the digital effects, see pages 60, 127. DSP Type Determines the DSP effect type to be applied to the Organ Flutes voice. Normally this will be one of the seven available Rotary Speaker effects. If any other type of effect is selected, the Rotary SP Speed ([C]) button in the FOOTAGE/VOL/ATTACK display will not control rotary speaker speed. Instead, it will have the same effect as the VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button. Variation EQ Low EQ High 94 PSR-2100/1100 Variation Determines whether the DSP variation will be set to Slow or Fast when the Organ Flutes voice is selected (when the Voice Set function is ON — page 146). Value Sets the DSP variation parameter value (e.g., “LFO Freq” for a Rotary Speaker effect) when the DSP variation is turned on. The EQ parameters determine the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands. Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs — Song Creator With these powerful yet easy-to-use song creating features, you can record your own keyboard performances and store them for future recall. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording (page 96), which lets you record easily and quickly; Multi Recording (page 97), which lets you record several different parts; and Step Recording (page 99), which lets you enter notes one by one. Songs can include not only the voice settings for the keyboard performance (Main, Layer, Left), but also the effects, vocal harmony and auto accompaniment parts. The recorded song can be stored to internal memory or floppy disk (page 38, 47). SONG EXTRA TRACKS TRACK 2 TRACK 1 (L) (R) (STYLE) TOP REC NEW SONG METRONOME REPEAT START/STOP REW BACK SYNC.

START About Song Recording There are two methods of recording songs: realtime recording and step recording. ■ Realtime Recording This method lets you record performance data in real time. There are two ways to use realtime recording: Quick and Multi. Quick Recording (page 96) This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano song you are practicing. You can select from four parts: right hand, left hand and auto accompaniment/multi pad. For example, you can record only your right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right hand and the auto accompaniment. Multi Recording (page 97) This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance. ■ Step Recording (page 99) This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method — similar to writing music notation onto paper. By using the Event List (page 108-110), you can input notes, chords and other events one by one. ■ Song Editing (page 105) The PSR-2100/1100 also lets you edit the songs you’ve recorded by the Quick Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods. When re-recording a specific section of an already-recorded song, use the Punch IN/OUT function (page 104). • The internal memory capacity of the PSR-2100/1100 is about 1520KB (PSR-2100)/700KB (PSR1100). Memory capacity for 2DD and 2HD floppy disks is about 720KB and 1.44MB, respectively. When you store data to these locations, all file types of the PSR-2100/ 1100 (Voice, Style, Song, Registration, etc.) are stored together. • The microphone input signal (PSR2100 only) cannot be recorded. • Songs recorded on the PSR-2100/ 1100 are automatically recorded as SMF (Standard MIDI File format 0) data. For details on SMF, see page 161. • Playback of the recorded song data can be transmitted from MIDI OUT, letting you play the sounds of a connected external tone generator (page 149). • The volume level of each channel of the song can be adjusted from the Mixing Console and the settings can be saved. Moreover, even after you’ve set a voice for your keyboard play during recording, you can record voice selections, so that the voice changes automatically during playback (page 107). PSR-2100/1100 95 Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs — Song Creator Quick Recording This is the easiest recording method — perfect for quickly recording and playing back a piano song you’re practicing, so you can check your progress. CAUTION If you wish to save the recording, make sure to store it to internal memory (USER drive) or floppy disk (page 39, 47). If you turn off the power or re-record over an existing track before you save the performance, any previous recording will be erased. ■ When creating a new song: 1 REC NEW SONG TOP START/STOP REW FF SYNC.

F G Calls up the SONG display, from which you can save the edited data. H First Key On Overwrite recording starts as soon as you start playing the keyboard. This setting also preserves the previous lead-in data, letting you record over the original lead-in without erasing it. I J Determines the Punch Out measure — the measure at which Punch In overwrite recording stops (when “PUNCH OUT AT” is selected). Punch In At The song plays back normally up to the indicated Punch In measure (set by the [3▲▼] buttons), then starts overwrite recording at that Punch In measure. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines the measure at which Punch In overwrite recording starts (when “PUNCH IN AT” is selected). These settings determine how recording will stop as well as what happens to previously recorded data. Replace All This deletes all data following the point at which recording is stopped. Punch Out This maintains all data following the point at which recording is stopped. Punch Out At Overwrite recording continues until the indicated Punch Out measure (set by the [6▲▼] buttons), then stops at that Punch Out measure, after which song playback continues normally. When this is set to ON, you can use the foot pedal 2 to control the punch-in and punch-out points. (The current function assignment of the foot pedal is cancelled.) Press and hold down the foot pedal to record. Recording stops when you release the pedal. About Punch In/Out This feature is useful primarily for re-recording or replacing a specific section of an already recorded channel.

Editing Channel-related Parameters — Channel Calling up the operations here apply to step 4 on page 99. To call up the display shown below, use the [BACK]/[NEXT] buttons. Quantize Quantize lets you “clean up” or tighten the timing of a previously recorded channel. For example, the following musical passage has been written with exact quarter-note and eighth-note values. Even though you think you may have recorded the passage accurately, your actual performance may be slightly ahead of or behind the beat. Quantize allows you to align all the notes in a channel so that the timing is absolutely accurate to the specified note value (see below). Use this to select the desired edit operation. Executes the Quantize operation. After the operation is completed, this button changes to [UNDO], letting you restore the original data if you’re not satisfied with the Quantize results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. A F B G C H D I E J 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Calls up the SONG display, from which you can save the edited data. Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats only by the specified amount. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording. Selects the quantize size (resolution). See the below for the details. Selects the desired channel to be quantized. ■ About Quantize Size Set the Quantize size to correspond to the smallest notes in the channel you are working with. For example, if the data was recorded with both quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 note for the Quantize size. If you apply a 1/4 note Quantize size, the eighth notes would be moved on top of the quarter notes. One measure of eighth notes before quantization After 1/8 note quantization Quantize Size 1/4 note 1/4 note triplet 1/8 note 1/8 note triplet 1/16 note 1/16 note triplet 1/32 note 1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet * 1/16 note + 1/8 note triplet * 1/16 note + 1/16 note triplet * The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time, without compromising the quantization of either one. For example, if you have both straight 1/8 notes and 1/8 note triplets recorded to the same channel, and you quantize to straight 1/8 notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight 1/8 notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel in the rhythm. However, if you use the 1/8 note + 1/8 note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. PSR-2100/1100 105 Recording Your Performances and Creating Songs — Song Creator Delete This lets you delete recorded data in the specified channel. Use these to select the desired edit operation.

To create an accompaniment style, record patterns to the various channels one by one, for each of the sections you want to create. Section Channel INTRO A - D MAIN A - D ■ Realtime Recording (page 113) FILL IN A - D You can record accompaniment styles by simply playing the parts from the keyboard in real time. However, you don’t have to record every part yourself — you can choose an existing preset accompaniment style that is close to the style you want, then add or replace parts in that style as needed to create your own custom style. BREAK RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, PHRASE 2 ENDING A - D For information on the part structure of accompaniment styles, see page 97. Realtime Recording Characteristics • Loop recording Since auto accompaniment playback repeats the accompaniment patterns of several measures in a “loop,” you can also record patterns in a loop. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next loop (repetition), letting you record new material while hearing the parts you previously recorded. • Overdub recording This feature lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In style recording, the recorded data remains intact, unless you specifically delete it yourself. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated. As you record notes to each pass of the loop (repetition), those notes play back from the next loop, letting you overdub new material while hearing the previous parts. ■ Step Recording (page 114) This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This is ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are difficult to play. ■ Assembling an Accompaniment Style (page 115) This convenient feature lets you create composite styles by combining various patterns from the internal preset accompaniment styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat style, you could take rhythm patterns from the “8 Beat 1” style, use the bass pattern from “8 Beat 2,” and import the chord patterns from the “60’s 8 Beat” style — combining the various elements to create one accompaniment style. 8Beat 1 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 60’s 8 Beat Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Chord 2 8Beat 2 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 ■ Editing the created Accompaniment Style (page 116) Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Any voice can be selected for the RHY1 channel, with the exception of Organ Flutes. With the editing features, you can custom edit the styles you’ve created by real time recording, step recording, and assembling from other styles. PSR-2100/1100 111 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator Style File Format These are the patterns recorded to the accompaniment styles (page 119). Source Pattern The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into a single unified format. By using the edit functions, you can take full advantage of the SFF format and freely create your own styles. The chart at right indicates the process by which the accompaniment is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm channels.) The basic or “source” pattern in the chart is the original style data. This source pattern is recorded using accompaniment style recording (see below). As shown in the chart at right, the actual output of the accompaniment is determined by various parameter settings and chord changes (played in Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard) entered to this source pattern. 1 Source Root (root note of basic chord) 2 Source Chord (type of basic chord) Chord changes (in Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard) Pitch Conversion 3 NTR (Note Transposition Rule) 4 NTT (Note Transposition Table) This data is created by chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard (page 65). These settings are edited from the PARAMETER display. These parameters determine how the pitch of the source pattern is converted when you play chords in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard. Other Settings 5 High Key (threshold of the pitch conversion) 6 Note Limit (soundable range) 7 RTR (Retrigger Rule; how the pitches of the chord change) Output Operation 1 Select the desired accompaniment style for editing.

Recording — Precautions • The basic chord used for the accompaniment style is called the source chord. All chords that play and the pitches that sound are derived from the source C R C C R C chord. When recording the Main and Fill In sections (for a source chord of CM7), C = chord note keep the following points in mind: C, R = recommended note * When recording to the Bass or Phrase channels, try to use only the recommended notes; this will ensure that you can play various chords with the accompaniment style and get optimum results. (Other notes may work, providing you use them as short passing tones.) * When recording to the Chord or Pad channels, use only the notes of the CM7 chord; this will ensure that you can play various chords with the accompaniment style and get optimum results. (Other notes may work, providing you use them as short passing tones.) The source chord is set by default to CM7; however, you can change this to any chord you prefer. Refer to the section “Making Style File Format Settings – Parameter” on page 119. • When recording Intro and Ending sections, you can ignore the source chord and use any notes or chord progressions you like. In this case, if you set the NTR parameter to “ROOT TRANSPOSE” and NTT to “HARMONIC MINOR” or “MELODIC MINOR” (in the PARAMETER page), the normal pitch conversions that would result from playing different chords are cancelled (for playback) — meaning that the accompaniment pitch conversion will only occur for changes in the root note or major/minor shifts. Step Recording With this method, you can create a style pattern by entering notes and other data individually, without having to perform them in real time. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 112. F G H I J The actual recording process is the same as in Step Recording of songs (page 99), with the exception of the points described below. You can also edit each event from the Edit page, and the editing process the same as in editing songs (page 108). • In song recording, the end mark position can be changed freely. However, it cannot be changed when creating accompaniment styles. This is because the length of the accompaniment style is automatically fixed according to the selected section. For example, when creating an accompaniment style based on a four-measure section, the end mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed from the Step Record screen. • When editing the data recorded on the Edit page, you can switch between the type of data you want to edit (event data or control data). Press the [F] (TRACK EVT) button to switch between the Event display (Note, Control Change, etc.) and the Control display (System Exclusive, etc.). Make sure to set the record channel from another display (e.g., BASIC display; page 112) beforehand. 114 PSR-2100/1100 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator Assembling an Accompaniment Style —Assembly This convenient function lets you combine accompaniment elements — such as rhythm, bass, and chord patterns — from existing styles, and use them to create your own original accompaniment styles.

ON ................Plays back the selected channels. Any channels set to ON in the REC CHANNEL display (page 113) are played back simultaneously. OFF ...............If the selected channel is set to ON in the REC CHANNEL display (page 113), OFF does not appear and is not available. If you change the section and channel in steps #1 and #2, the currently specified section and channel are also changed. The channels being recorded are also changed and recording is stopped automatically. The PLAY TYPE parameter affects only the playback, and does not change the actual accompaniment style data. PSR-2100/1100 115 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator Edit the Created Accompaniment Style Change the Rhythmic Feel — Groove and Dynamics These versatile features give you a wide variety of tools for changing the rhythmic feel of your created accompaniment style. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 112. ■ Groove Use these to select the desired edit operation. A F B G C H D I E J Executes the Groove operation. After the operation is completed, this button changes to [UNDO], letting you restore the original data if you’re not satisfied with the Groove results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. Calls up the Style display and lets you store the edited accompaniment style data. Determines the settings for each of the Groove parameters (see the list below). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Groove parameters 116 Original Beat Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. Beat Converter Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. Swing Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is 8th notes, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced. Fine Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat —but not including the first beat — will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. PSR-2100/1100 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator ■ Dynamics Use these to select the desired edit operation. A F B G C H D I E J Executes the Dynamics operation. After the operation is completed, this button changes to [UNDO], letting you restore the original data if you’re not satisfied with the Dynamics results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. 1 2 3 Select the desired channel to which Dynamics is to be applied. 4 5 6 7 Calls up the Style display and lets you store the edited accompaniment style data. 8 Determines the settings for each of the Dynamics parameters (see the list below). Dynamics parameters Accent Type Selects the type of accent. Strength Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. Expand/Compress Expands or compresses the range of velocity values, around a central velocity value “64.” Values higher than 100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it. Boost/Cut Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce it. Velocity is determined by how strongly you play the keyboard. The more strongly you play the keyboard, the higher the velocity value and, hence, the louder the sound. PSR-2100/1100 117 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator Editing the Channel Data In this display, there are five different channel-related edit functions, including Quantize, for editing the recorded accompaniment style data. The operations here apply to step 4 on page 112. See the explanations below. Preset channel BASSPHRASE 2 can not be edited. ■ Quantize Refer to page 105. ■ Velocity Change Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel (selected with the [1▲▼]/[2▲▼] (CHANNEL) buttons), according to the specified percentage (selected with the [4▲▼]/[5▲▼] (BOOST/CUT) buttons). ■ Bar Copy This function allows data to be copied from one measure or group of measures to another location within the specified channel. Use the [4▲▼] (TOP) and [5▲▼] (LAST) buttons to specify the first and last measures in the region to be copied. Use the [6▲▼] (DEST) button to specify the first measure of the destination location, to which the data is to be copied. ■ Bar Clear This function clears all data from the specified range of measures within the selected channel. Use the [4▲▼] (TOP) and [5▲▼] (LAST) buttons to specify the first and last measures in the region to be cleared. ■ Remove Event This function lets you remove specific events from the selected channel. Use the [4▲▼] - [6▲▼] (EVENT) buttons to select the desired event type to be removed. 118 PSR-2100/1100 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator Making Style File Format Settings — Parameter This display provides a variety of style controls— such as determining how the pitch and sound of the recorded style change when playing the chords in the left-hand range of the keyboard. For details about the relationship between the parameters, refer to “Style File Format” on page 112. The operations here are the same as described in step 4 on page 112. When NTR is set to “Root Fixed” and NTT is set to “Bypass,” the “Source Root” and “Source Chord” parameters are changed to “Play Root” and “Play Chord,” respectively. In this case, you can change chords and hear the resulting sound for all channels. See the explanations below. ■ Source Root/Chord These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Source Root of “C” and a Source Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root / Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord type. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 114. When the Source Root is C: C6 CMaj CM711 CM7 CM79 C9 C69 C C R C C R C R C C C R Cm Caug R C R Cm711 C R C C7 5 C C C C C C C C R C R C R C C C C C C C1+5 C C C7sus4 C C R C C C C R C C C C C C R C C C C C C R C C R C C C C = chord note C, R = recommended note R C C C R C C C C79 Csus2 Csus4 R C C C R C C C C C713 C C C R C R C C R R C C C C C7 C C C R C Cm79 C C C79 C C R C C R C R C R C C R R C C R R C C C Cm9 C C713 C C R C C R Cdim7 C R C C1+8 C7aug CM7aug C C C R C Cdim C711 C79 C R C C C C C C C Cm75 C R C C CmM79 R C C R C Cm7 C R C C R C C C R C C C CmM7 C C R C R C Cm6 C R C R C C R C C R ■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule) and NTT (Note Transposition Table) • NTR (Note Transposition Rule) This determines the system for pitch conversion of the source pattern. Two settings are available. Root Trans (Root Transpose) When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. Root Fixed The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts. PSR-2100/1100 119 Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator • NTT (Note Transposition Table) This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Six transposition types are available. Bypass No transposition. Melody Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. Chord Suitable for chord transposition. Use for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. Bass Suitable for bass line transposition. This table is basically similar to the Melody table above, but recognizes onbass chords allowed in the FINGERED ON BASS fingering mode. Use this primarily for bass lines. Melodic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Harmonic Minor When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. ■ High Key/Note Limit • High Key This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the octave just below the highest key. This setting is effective only when the NTR parameter (page 119) is set to “Root Trans.” • Note Limit This sets the note range (highest and lowest notes) for voices recorded to the style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the voices sound as realistic as possible — in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sound). The actual notes that sound are automatically shifted to the set range. Example — When the highest key is F Root changes CM CM Notes played C3-E3-G3 C 3-F3-G 3 FM F3-A3-C4 FM F 2-A 2-C 3 Example — When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4 Root changes CM CM FM 3-C4 E3-G3-C4 F3-G F3-A3-C4 Notes played High Limit Low Limit ■ RTR (Retrigger Rule) These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes. Stop The notes stop sounding. Pitch Shift The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. Pitch Shift to Root The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. Retrigger The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord. Retrigger To Root The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same. 120 PSR-2100/1100 Creating Multi Pad — Multi Pad Creator The PSR-2100/1100 lets you create your own original Multi Pad phrases — which you can use in your performances in the same way as the preset Multi Pads.

About the Effect Connections – System and Insertion All the effect blocks are connected or routed in one of two ways: System or Insertion. System applies the selected effect to all parts, while Insertion applies the selected effect to one specific part. Reverb and Chorus are System effects, and DSP 2 - DSP 4 (PSR-2100 only) are Insertion effects. The DSP1/DSP effect, on the other hand, can be configured for either System or Insertion routing. The illustration below shows how the various effect blocks are set up and traces the signal flow for the send/return controls set on the PSR-2100/1100.

The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the level for each band. The equalizer allows you to adjust the tone or timbre of the sound to match the performance space, or to compensate for certain acoustic characteristics in your room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing on stages or in large studio spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes.The PSR-2100 possesses a high grade five-band digital equalizer function. With this function, a final effect —tone control— can be added to the output of your instrument. The operations for this page apply to step 2 of the procedure on page 124. 1 Call up the MASTER EQ EDIT display. Select the desired Master EQ type. A F B G C H D I E J Select the EQ type to adjust the EQ HIGH using the [1▲▼] - [8▲▼] buttons.

A F B G C H D I E J 1 Q 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 An edited PRESET or USER curve can be stored to USER 1 or 2. The PRESET and USER curves can be edited as required via the corresponding LCD buttons — EQ1 through EQ5.Each of the 5 bands can be boosted (“+” values) or cut (“–”values) by up to 12 dB. Adjusts the overall gain of all EQ bands simultaneously. GAIN FREQ 130 PSR-2100/1100 Whenever an EQ band is edited the corresponding EQ value is highlighted and the number of the edited band appears above the Q and FREQ controls. The Q and FREQ controls can then be used to adjust the Q (bandwidth) and the FREQ (center frequency) of the selected band. The higher the “Q,” the narrower the bandwidth. The available FREQ range is different for each band. Using a Microphone — MIC. (PSR-2100 only) This extraordinarily powerful feature uses advanced voice-processing technology to automatically produce vocal harmony based on a single lead vocal. Four distinct harmony modes as well as an extensive selection of preset harmony types are provided. In addition to straightforward harmony, the PSR-2100 also lets you change the apparent gender of the harmony and/or lead vocal sound. For example, if you are a male singer, you can have the PSR-2100 automatically generate a two-part female backup. A comprehensive set of parameters gives you exceptionally precise and flexible control over the vocal harmony sound. MIC. VH TYPE SELECT VOCAL HARMONY MIC.

Vocal Harmony Parameter List 132 Chordal Type/Vocoder Type Determines how the harmony notes are applied. Harmony Gender Type Can be set to “Off” or “Auto”. When “Auto”, the gender of the harmony sound is changed automatically. Lead Gender Type Determines whether and how the gender of the lead vocal sound (i.e., the direct microphone sound) will be changed. When “Off” no gender change occurs. When ”Unison”, “Male” or “Female” is selected the corresponding gender change is applied to the lead vocal. (In this case the number of harmony notes which can be produced in addition to the lead vocal is reduced to one.) Lead Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of lead vocal gender change produced when one of the Lead Gender Types (above) is selected. Lead Pitch Correction When “Correct” is selected the pitch of the lead vocal is shifted in precise semitone steps. This parameter is only effective when one of the Lead Gender Types is selected. Auto Upper Gender Threshold Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones above the lead vocal pitch. Auto Lower Gender Threshold Gender change will occur when the harmony pitch reaches or exceeds the specified number of semitones below the lead vocal pitch. Upper Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes higher than the Auto Upper Gender Threshold. Lower Gender Depth Adjusts the degree of gender change applied to harmony notes lower than the Auto Lower Gender Threshold. Vibrato Depth Sets the depth of vibrato applied to the harmony sound. Also affects the lead vocal sound if a Lead Gender Type is selected. Vibrato Rate Sets the speed of the vibrato effect. Vibrato Delay Specifies the length of the delay before the vibrato effect begins when a note is produced. Harmony1 Volume Sets the volume of the first harmony note. Harmony2 Volume Sets the volume of the second harmony note. Harmony1 Pan Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the first harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. Harmony2 Pan Specifies the stereo (pan) position of the second harmony note. When “Random” is selected the stereo position of the sound will change randomly whenever the keyboard is played. Harmony1 Detune Detunes the first harmony note by the specified number of cents. Harmony2 Detune Detunes the second harmony note by the specified number of cents. Pitch to Note When “ON” the lead vocal sound “plays” the PSR-2100 tone generator system. (However, dynamic changes in the vocal sound do not affect the volume of the tone generator.) Pitch to Note Part Determines which of the PSR-2100 parts will be controlled by the lead vocal when the Pitch to Note parameter is “ON”. PSR-2100 Using a Microphone — MIC.

Select the MICROPHONE SETTING page by using the [BACK]/[NEXT] button and set the parameters. BACK NEXT For information on the various parameters and settings and how to use them, refer to the explanations below. END Press the [EXIT] button to return to the previous display. A F B G C H D I E J Adjusting the Vocal Harmony Settings and Microphone Effects — OVERALL SETTING The explanations here apply to step 2 above. A F B G C H D I E J Select the 3BAND EQ. Select the NOISE GATE/ COMPRESSOR. Select the VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL/MIC. Use these to change the value for each function or setting. For details, see below. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ■ 3BAND EQ (3-BAND EQUALIZER) Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the room. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, allowing you to correct the sound by raising or lowering the level for each band. The PSR-2100 features a high grade three-band digital equalizer function for the microphone sound. Hz .............. Adjusts the center frequency of the corresponding band. dB ............... Boosts or cuts the level of the corresponding band by up to 12 dB. ■ NOISE GATE This effect mutes the input signal when the input from the microphone falls below a specified level. This effectively cuts off extraneous noise, allowing the desired signal (vocal, etc.) to pass. SW.............. “SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Noise Gate on or off. TH. ............. “TH.” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which the gate begins to open. PSR-2100 133 Using a Microphone — MIC. (PSR-2100 only) ■ COMPRESSOR This effect holds down the output when the input signal from the microphone exceeds a specified level. This is useful when recording a signal with widely varying dynamics. It effectively “compresses” the signal, making soft parts louder and loud parts softer. SW.............. “SW” is the abbreviation of Switch. This turns Compressor on or off. TH. ............. “TH.” is the abbreviation of Threshold. This adjusts the input level at which compression begins to be applied. RATIO ........ This adjusts the compression ratio. OUT ........... Adjusts the final output level. ■ VOCAL HARMONY CONTROL The following parameters determine how the harmony is controlled. VOCODER CONTROL The Vocal Harmony effect is controlled by note data — the notes you play on the keyboard and/or the notes of the song data. This parameter lets you determine which notes are used to control the harmony. • SONG CHANNEL MUTE/PLAY: When set to “MUTE,” the channel selected below is muted (turned off) during keyboard performance or song playback. OFF: Song data control over harmony is turned off. 1-16: When playing back a song from disk or external MIDI sequencer, the note data recorded to the assigned song channel controls the harmony. • KEYBOARD OFF: Keyboard control over harmony is turned off. UPPER: Notes played to the right of the split point control the harmony. LOWER: Notes played to the left of the split point control the harmony. BALANCE This lets you set the balance between the lead vocal (your own voice) and Vocal Harmony. Raising this value increases the volume of the Vocal Harmony and decreases that of the lead vocal. When this is set to L<H63 (L: Lead Vocal, H: Vocal Harmony), only the Vocal Harmony is output; when it is set to L63>H, only the lead vocal is output. MODE All of the Vocal Harmony types fall into one of three modes which produce harmony in different ways. The harmony effect is dependent on the selected Vocal Harmony Mode and Track, and this parameter determines how the harmony is applied to your voice. The three modes are described below. VOCODER: The harmony notes are determined by the notes you play on the keyboard (Main, Layer and Left) and/ or song data which includes Vocal Harmony tracks. CHORDAL: During accompaniment playback, chords played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard control the harmony. During song playback, chords contained in song data control the harmony. (Not available if the song does not contain any chord data.) AUTO: When the auto accompaniment or Left part is set to ON and if chord data exists in the song, the mode is automatically set to CHORDAL. In all other cases, the mode is set to VOCODER. CHORD The following parameters specify the song data which will be used for chord detection. OFF: Chords are not detected. XF: Chords of XF format are detected. 1-16: Chords are detected from note data in the specified song channel. ■ MIC (MICROPHONE) The following parameters determine how the microphone sound is controlled. MUTE .............. When set to OFF, the microphone sound is turned off. VOLUME ......... Adjusts the volume of the microphone sound. 134 PSR-2100 Using a Microphone — MIC. (PSR-2100 only) Setting the Microphone Volume and Related Effects — TALK SETTING Determines the settings when the [TALK] button is on. The explanations here apply to step 2 on page 133. VOLUME/PAN/REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/TOTAL VOLUME ATTENUATOR A F B G C H D I E J This determines the amount of attenuation to be applied to the overall sound (excepting the microphone input) — allowing you to effectively adjust the balance between your voice and the overall instrument sound. This determines the volume of the microphone sound. 1 2 3 4 5 6 This sets the stereo pan position of the microphone sound. 7 8 These set the depth of the reverb and chorus effects applied to the microphone sound. DSP/TYPE/DEPTH A F B G C H D I E J This sets the depth of the DSP effect applied to the microphone sound. 1 This turns the DSP effect applied to the microphone sound ON or OFF. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 This selects the type of DSP effect to be applied to the microphone sound.

END To return to the previous display, press the [EXIT] button. Adjusting the Pitch and Tuning — Master Tune and Scale Tune ■ Master Tune (page 138) This allows you to make fine adjustments to the overall pitch of the instrument — letting you accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. ■ Scale Tune (page 138) This determines the particular tuning system (or temperament) for the instrument. This is especially useful for playing period pieces, to match the tuning system used during specific musical eras. Setting Song-related Parameters — Song Settings (page 140) These allow you to set parameters related to song playback. Setting Auto Accompaniment-related Parameters — Style Setting, Split Point, and Chord Fingering ■ Style Setting / Split Point (page 141) These determine the auto accompaniment-related settings, and let you set the split point. ■ Chord Fingering (page 142) This determines the method for playing/indicating chords when using the auto accompaniment features. You can even check how to play the chord, since the individual notes are indicated in the display. 136 PSR-2100/1100 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Making Settings for the Pedals and Keyboard — Controller ■ Pedal (page 142) These settings determine how the connected foot pedals (including foot controllers and footswitches) are used. They can be assigned to a variety of functions, letting you control operations with your feet — such as turning the accompaniment style on/ off, or triggering Fill In patterns. ■ Keyboard / Panel (page 144) These settings determine the touch sensitivity of the keyboard (how touch affects volume), the on/off status of the Modulation wheel (PSR-2100 only), and the pitch transpose settings (for the keyboard, song data, and entire instrument). Setting the Registration Sequence, Freeze, and Voice Set ■ Registration Sequence (page 145) This determines the order in which the Registration Memory presets (1 - 8) are called up — by using the [BACK][NEXT] buttons or the pedal. ■ Freeze (page 145) This lets you specify the settings you want to be maintained or left unchanged, even when changing Registration Memory presets. ■ Voice Set (page 146) This lets you determine whether certain voice-related settings (such as Effects, EQ, Harmony, etc.) are automatically called up or not when you select a voice. Making MIDI Settings ■ System (page 148) These determine various system messages settings (such as Clock, Start/Stop, System Exclusive), as well as Local Control on/off. ■ Transmit (page 149) This determines how playback data is sent to connected MIDI devices — i.e., which parts are assigned to which MIDI Transmit channels. This also lets you specify the type of data to be transmitted over each channel. ■ Receive (page 150) This determines how the parts of the PSR-2100/1100 respond to data from connected MIDI devices — i.e., which parts are assigned to which MIDI Receive channels. This also lets you specify the type of data to be received over each channel. ■ Root (page 150) This determines the channel(s) recognized for the root notes, for use with the auto accompaniment. ■ Chord Detect (page 150) This determines the channel(s) recognized for the chords, for use with the auto accompaniment. Other Settings — Utility ■ Config 1 (page 151) This page contains settings for Fade In/Out, Metronome, Parameter Lock, and the Tap sound. ■ Config 2 (page 152) From this page, you can adjust the display, and change the voice number indication. ■ Disk (page 153) Setting Harmony and Echo (page 146) These let you set the type of Harmony or Echo effect applied to the keyboard-played voices, as well as the amount of effect. From this page, you can format disks, and copy from disk to disk. ■ Owner (page 154) From this page, you can set the language of the instrument, and input your own name — which is shown automatically every time the power is turned on. ■ System Reset (page 154) This function restores the PSR-2100/1100 to its original factory settings. You can also specify which types of settings are to be restored, as well as store your own original settings for future recall. PSR-2100/1100 137 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Fine Tuning the Pitch/Selecting a Scale — Master Tune/Scale Tune The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136. Tuning the Overall Pitch — Master Tune Hz (Hertz) This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound, and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second. n The Tune function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Determines the overall pitch of the PSR-2100/ 1100, from 414.8 466.8 Hz. Press the 4 or 5 [▲▼] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the value to the factory setting of 440.0 Hz. 8 Selecting a Scale — Scale Tune Cent A unit of pitch equal to 1/100 of a semitone (100 cents = 1 semitone). Select the desired scale template. n You can register your original scale tunings to a REGISTRATION MEMORY button. To do this, checkmark “SCALE” in the REGISTRATION MEMORY display (page 87). A B C D E Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Selects which parts should be affected by the scale setting. Select the part to be set by pressing 6 or 7 [▲▼] and set the function ON or OFF by pressing [▲▼]. Parts that are set to OFF remain in Equal Temperament. Determines the fine tuning of the selected note in 1cent steps. Press the 4 or 5 [▲▼] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the value to the factory setting. Determines the note to be tuned and the amount of tuning. The tuning range is from “-64” through “0” to “+63.” Each increment equals one cent (one “cent” is one hundredth of a semitone). 138 PSR-2100/1100 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Scale ■ Equal Temperament The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. ■ Pure Major/Pure Minor These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies — such as choirs and acapella singing. ■ Pythagorean This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. ■ Mean-Tone This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. ■ Werckmeister/Kirnberger This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord. ■ Arabic Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. Pitch settings for each scale (in cents; example scale of C) The values shown in this chart are actually rounded off to the nearest whole number for use on the instrument.

Allows you to play back all songs from the same folder continuously. Turns Quick Start on/off (see note). A F B G C H D I E J Quick Start On some commercially available song data, certain settings related to the song (such as voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first measure, before the actual note data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” the PSR-2100/1100 reads all initial non-note data of the song at the highest possible speed, then automatically slows down to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data. n 1 Determines the MIDI channel assigned to the [TRACK2] button. Determines the MIDI channel assigned to the [TRACK1] button. Determines the harmony channel for Vocoder (PSR-2100 only) (page 134). 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines whether the Phrase Mark Repeat function for the song is on or off. When this is on, you can repeatedly play back a specified phrase (selection of measures) of the song. The method for specifying a phrase mark is the same as that in the SONG POSITION display (page 81). Determines the language of the displayed lyrics. When this is set to “AUTO,” the language defaults to that of the song data. When not set to “AUTO,” the language defaults to Japanese, when the internal setting (page 154) is JAPANESE; for all other languages, this is set to “INTERNATIONAL.” When set to “ON,” this automatically sets the proper Track 1 and Track 2 channels. Normally, this should be set to “ON.” 140 PSR-2100/1100 Channel Refers to the MIDI channel (page 160). The channels are assigned as follows: Song 1 - 16 Accompaniment Style 9 - 16 n Phrase Mark This data specifies a certain location in the song data.

The same value can be set for both or for each independently, using buttons [F], [G], and [H] (see above). You can use these buttons by themselves to set the split point value. Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different accompaniment styles (when accompaniment is stopped). Turns touch response for the accompaniment on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the accompaniment volume changes in response to your playing strength (in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard). The PSR-2100/1100 lets you automatically enable Sync Stop (page 68) simply by quickly pressing/releasing keys in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard. This parameter lets you set the length of the key-hold time. This applies to the OTS Link function, in which One Touch Settings are automatically called up with changes in the section. This determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the section. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.) Real Time One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a section button. Next Bar One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a section button. Stop Accompaniment When auto accompaniment is turned on and Synchro Start is off, you can play chords in the left-hand (accompaniment) section of the keyboard with the style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chords. You can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment condition. When this is set to “OFF,” you can use the Chord Match function (page 122) with the Multi Pads or the Harmony effect (page 61) without having to playback a style. About Split Point Split point is the position on keyboard that separates the Auto Accompaniment section (ACMP) and left-hand section (LEFT) from the right-hand section (MAIN).

Chord Tutor The Chord Tutor feature is essentially an electronic “chord book” that shows you appropriate fingerings for chords; it is useful when you want to play certain chords. Simply specify the desired chord via the [6▲▼] - [8▲▼] buttons, and the fingerings for the Fingered method are indicated in the display. This lets you change the root note from the chord. Making Settings for the Pedals and Keyboard — Controller The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136. Making Settings for the Pedals Determines the particular pedal to which a function is to be assigned. A F B G C H D I E J 1 2 Determines the function to be assigned to the selected pedal. Any one of the available functions can be assigned to each pedal. For information on the assignable functions, see “Pedal-controllable Functions” on the next page. 142 PSR-2100/1100 3 4 5 6 7 8 If necessary, you can turn the corresponding part ON/ OFF or set the control depth (see the next page). Pedal on/off operation may differ depending on the particular pedal you’ve connected to the [FOOT PEDAL 1/2] jack. For example, pressing down on one pedal may turn the selected function on, while pressing a different make/ brand of pedal may turn the function off. If necessary, use this setting to reverse the operation. Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Pedal-controllable Functions VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller (FOOT PEDAL 2 only) to control the volume. SUSTAIN When the pedal is pressed notes played have a long sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. SOSTENUTO If you press and hold the pedal here, only the first note will be sustained (the note that you played and held when pressing the pedal). This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. SOFT Pressing the pedal subtly reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played. It only applies to certain voices — PIANO, for example. GLIDE When the pedal is pressed the pitch changes, and then back to normal pitch when the pedal is released. PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). The portamento time can be set via the Mixing Console display (page 126). PITCHBEND* Bend notes up or down while pedal is pressed (FOOT PEDAL 2 only). Same as the PITCH BEND wheel. MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard.

FING/ON BASS The pedal alternately switches between the Fingered and On Bass modes (page 65). BASS HOLD While the pedal is pressed, the Accompaniment Style bass note will be held even if the chord is changed. If the fingering is set to “FULL KEYBOARD,” the function does not work. PERCUSSION The pedal plays a percussion instrument selected by the [4▲▼] - [8▲▼] buttons. You can use the keyboard to select the desired percussion instrument. MAIN ON/OFF Same as the [MAIN] button. LAYER ON/OFF Same as the [LAYER] button. LEFT ON/OFF Same as the [LEFT] button. OTS+ Calls up the next One Touch Setting. OTS- Calls up the previous One Touch Setting. * For best results, use the optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controller. The parameters below correspond to buttons [2▲▼] - [8▲▼], and their availability depends on the selected control Type. For example, if SUSTAIN is selected as the Type, the parameters “HALF PEDAL POINT”, “MAIN”, “LAYER” and “LEFT” automatically appear in the display. SONG, STYLE, M.PAD, MIC (PSR-2100 only), LEFT, LAYER, MAIN These specify the part(s) that will be affected by the pedal. HALF PEDAL POINT* You can specify how far down you should press on the foot pedal until the damper effect starts working. This can be set for certain kinds of pedals, such as the foot pedal (YAMAHA FC7) (FOOT PEDAL 2 only). UP/DOWN When GLIDE or PITCH BEND is selected, this determines whether the pitch change goes up (is raised) or down (is lowered). RANGE When GLIDE or PITCH BEND is selected, this determines the range of the pitch change, in semitones. ON SPEED When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is pressed. OFF SPEED When GLIDE is selected, this determines the speed of the pitch change, when the pedal is released. KIT When PERCUSSION is assigned to the pedal, all available drum kits are shown here, letting you select the particular drum kit used for the pedal. PERCUSSION When PERCUSSION is assigned to the pedal, all sounds of the selected drum kit (in KIT above) are shown here.

PSR-2100/1100 143 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Changing the Touch Sensitivity Modulation and Transpose — Keyboard/Panel Keyboard Touch/Modulation Wheel The Touch feature lets you control the volume of the voices by your playing strength. These settings allow you to customize the keyboard’s touch response (sensitivity) to your personal playing preferences. You can also set whether the Modulation wheel is effective or not — for each individual keyboard part. Selects the desired parameter: Keyboard Touch, Modulation Wheel (PSR-2100) or Transpose Assign. HARD 2 Requires strong playing to produce high volume. Best for players with a heavy touch. HARD 1 Requires moderately strong playing for higher volume. A B C NORMAL Standard touch response. D SOFT 1 Produces high volume with moderate playing strength. SOFT 2 Produces relatively high volume even with light playing strength. Best for players with a light touch. E Determines the Touch sensitivity setting (Keyboard Touch only; refer to the table at right). Determines the fixed volume level when touch is set to “off” (Keyboard Touch only). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 The TOUCH setting affects all voices globally. Keep in mind that you can set each voice to a different touch sensitivity (TOUCH SENSE). For example, to play a pipe organ voice most authentically, you can set this so that the voice is not affected by touch (page 91). Determines whether Touch and Modulation Wheel controls are on or not for the corresponding parts. Transpose Assign This determines which aspect of the instrument is affected by the [TRANSPOSE] button. Transpose Allows you to shift the pitch of the keyboard-played voices, accompaniment style playback, and song data in semitone units. 1 Press one of the [TRANSPOSE] buttons. TRANSPOSE RESET 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 SONG For this setting, Transpose affects only the pitch of the songs. MASTER For this setting, Transpose affects the pitch of the entire instrument (keyboard voices, accompaniment styles, and songs). The transpose function does not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices. PSR-2100/1100 A TRANSPOSE pop-up window, selected via TRANSPOSE ASSIGN, appears. 3 Adjust the value by using the [TRANSPOSE] buttons. 8 KEYBOARD For this setting, Transpose affects the pitch of the keyboard-played voices (Main, Layer, and Left) and the accompaniment styles. 144 2 END Close the TRANSPOSE windows by pressing the [EXIT] button. • Selectively Transposing Keyboard/Song These settings can be used to match both the song and your keyboard performance to a certain key. For example, let’s say you wish to play and sing along with a certain recorded song. The song data is in F, but you feel most comfortable singing in D, and you are accustomed to playing the keyboard part in C. To match up the keys, keep the Master Transpose setting at “0,” set the Keyboard Transpose to “2,” and set Song Transpose to “-3.” This brings the keyboard part up in pitch and the song data down to your comfortable singing key. Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Setting the Registration Sequence, Freeze, and Voice Set The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136. Specifying the Order for Calling Up Registration Memory Presets — Registration Sequence You can save your custom panel settings to the Registration Memory presets, and call them up by pressing the appropriate REGISTRATION MEMORY buttons [1] - [8]. The convenient Registration Sequence function lets you call up the presets in any order you specify, by simply using the [BACK]/[NEXT] buttons or the pedal as you play. Indicates the file name of the selected Registration Memory bank. Determines which pedal is used to advance (increment) through the sequence. Determines which pedal is used to reverse (decrement) through the sequence. Determines how Registration Sequence behaves when reaching the end of the sequence. Stop Pressing the [NEXT] button or the “advance” pedal has no effect. The sequence is “stopped.” Top The sequence starts again at the beginning. Next Bank The sequence automatically moves to the beginning of the next Registration Memory bank in the same folder. A F B G C H D I E J 1 2 3 4 5 6 Turns the Registration Sequence function on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the programmed Registration Sequence is shown at the top right of the Main display, and you can step through the sequence in this display by using the [BACK]/[NEXT] buttons or the pedals. Deletes the number at the cursor position. Inserts the number of the currently selected Registration Memory preset immediately before the cursor position. Replaces the number at the cursor position with the currently selected Registration Memory number. END 8 n Deletes all Registration Memory numbers in the sequence. Indicates the Registration Memory preset numbers, in the order of the current Registration Sequence. These move the cursor position in the sequence. 7 Execute the settings by pressing the [EXIT] button. When you are using the pedal to call up specified presets, you can easily reset the Registration Sequence and go back to the first entry by holding down the pedal for a few seconds (the red box indicator at the top right of the MAIN display goes out). Press and release the foot pedal to re-select the first entry in the sequence. Setting Registration Sequence Enable to “ON” overrides any other Pedal settings (for pedals assigned to “Regist (+) Pedal” and “Regist (-) Pedal” here). These include the pedal settings on page 142, and in Voice Set on page 146. n When both “Regist (+) Pedal” and “Regist (-) Pedal” are set to “OFF,” the pedals cannot be used to step through the Registration Sequence; only the [BACK]/[NEXT] buttons can be used in the MAIN display. n When both “Regist (+) Pedal” and “Regist (-) Pedal” are set to the same pedal, “Regist (+) Pedal” takes priority. Registration Sequence data is included as part of the Registration Memory bank file. To save your newly programmed Registration Sequence, store the current Registration Memory bank file (page 38, 47). Any Registration Sequence data is lost when changing Registration Memory banks, unless you’ve stored it with the Registration Memory bank file. Maintaining Panel Settings — Freeze This lets you specify the settings you want to be maintained or left unchanged, even when changing Registration Memory presets. For details, see page 89. PSR-2100/1100 145 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Changing the Automatically Selected Voice Settings — Voice Set When changing voices (selecting a voice file), the settings best matching the voice — the same as those set in the Sound Creator — are always and automatically called up. From this page, you can set the on/off status for each part. For example, each of the preset voices has its own LEFT PEDAL setting; however, even changing voices will not change the LEFT PEDAL setting, if it is set to “OFF” in this page. Normally, these should all be set to “ON.” A Use these to select the desired part. B C Harmony/echo cannot be set for the Layer and Left parts. D E 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 These determine whether the corresponding voice-related settings (Voice selection, Effects, EQ (PSR-2100 only) and Harmony/echo assignment) are automatically called up or not when you select a voice. These settings can be turned on or off independently for each part. Setting Harmony and Echo The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136. Determines the Harmony type. For details, see page 147. 1 2 3 4 5 Determines the level of the Harmony effect. Determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects. This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. 146 PSR-2100/1100 6 7 8 Determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value). When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note that belongs to a chord played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard. This parameter is not available when Multi Assign, Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. This lets you assign the Harmony effect to various parts. For details, see page 147. Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function About the Harmony Types When a normal Harmony type (“Standard Duet” through “Strum”) is selected Split point Chords played to the left of the split point control the harmony. Harmony notes (based on the chord and the selected type) are automatically added to the melody played to the right of the split point. When “Multi Assign” is selected Multi Assign automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (voices). For example, if you play two consecutive notes, the first is played by the Main voice and the second by the Layer voice. When “Echo” is selected An echo effect is applied to the note played on the keyboard, in time with the currently set tempo. When “Tremolo” is selected A tremolo effect is applied to the note played on the keyboard, in time with the currently set tempo. When “Trill” is selected Two notes held on the keyboard are played alternately, in time with the currently set tempo. About the Harmony Assignments AUTO Harmony notes are automatically assigned the MAIN and LAYER parts. Multi This automatically assigns the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th added harmony notes to different parts (voices). For example, if the Main and Layer parts are turned on and the “Standard Duet” type is selected, the note you play on the keyboard will be played by the Main voice, and the added harmony note will be played by the Layer voice. Main Harmony is applied only to the Main part. When the Main part is turned off, Harmony is not applied. Layer Harmony is applied only to the Layer part. When the Layer part is turned off, Harmony is not applied. PSR-2100/1100 147 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Setting the MIDI Parameters In this section, you can make MIDI-related settings for the instrument. These settings can be stored all together from the USER display, for future recall.For general information and details about MIDI, see “What is MIDI?” (page 158). The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136. 1 A F B G C H D I E J 1 3 Preset MIDI Templates (Factory Set) Select the desired template. 2 3 4 Call up the User display and press this button to save the newly edited MIDI settings. Up to ten setups can be saved. 5 2 6 7 All Parts Transmit all parts including Main, Layer and Left. Master KBD The PSR-2100/1100 functions as a master keyboard for controlling external tone generators or other devices. KBD & Style Transmit Upper and Lower keyboard play instead of the individual parts (Main/ Layer/Left). Song All Transmit channels are set to correspond to the Song channels 1-16. Use this to play the PSR-2100/1100 song data with an external tone generator, or to record your entire performance to an external sequencer. Clock Ext. MIDI IN terminal receives MIDI clock and PSR-2100/1100 synchronizes with a external MIDI device. MIDI Accord 1 An ideal setup for controlling the keyboard voice and accompaniment style with a MIDI accordion. MIDI Accord 2 Chord and bass buttons on a MIDI accordion control the accompaniment style, as well as play the chord and bass parts. MIDI Pedal 1 The MIDI pedal connected to MIDI IN terminal controls the bass note of the accompaniment. MIDI Pedal 2 The MIDI pedal connected to MIDI IN terminal plays the bass part. MIDI OFF MIDI signals are neither sent nor received. 8 Call up the Edit display, then select and set the desired functions/parameters. For details about each of the MIDI edit displays, see the following pages. The saved settings can be named (page 44) or deleted (page 46) in the User page. END Press the [EXIT] button to return to the previous display. Making Overall System Settings (Local Control, Clock, etc.) — System Call up the display as described in step 2 above. For editing the Local Control parameters. For editing the Clock, Transmit Clock, Receive Transpose, and Start/Stop parameters. For editing the Message Switch parameters. Local Control Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the PSR-2100/1100 controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the PSR-2100/1100’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the PSR-2100/1100’s internal voices, and use the PSR-2100/1100 keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator. 148 PSR-2100/1100 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Clock, Transmit Clock, Receive Transpose, Start/Stop ■ Clock Determines whether the PSR-2100/1100 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. “INTERNAL” is the normal Clock setting when the PSR-2100/1100 is being used alone. If you are using the PSR-2100/1100 with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want the PSR2100/1100 to be synchronized to the external device, set this function to “EXTERNAL.” In the latter case, the external device must be connected to the PSR-2100/1100 MIDI IN terminal, and must be transmitting an appropriate MIDI clock signal. ■ Transmit Clock Turns MIDI clock transmission on or off. When this is set to “OFF,” no MIDI clock or START/STOP data is transmitted. ■ Receive Transpose When this parameter is set to “OFF,” note data received by the PSR-2100/1100 is not transposed, and when it is set to “ON,” the received note data is transposed according to the current PSR-2100/1100 keyboard transpose (page 144) setting. ■ Start/Stop Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect song or style playback. FA, FC MIDI messages for starting/stopping the song or style. The “FA” message corresponds to start, and “FC” corresponds to stop. Message Switch SYS/EX. Tx (TRANSMIT)..................... Turns MIDI transmission of MIDI system exclusive message data ON or OFF. SYS/EX. Rx (RECEIVE) ........................ Turns MIDI reception of MIDI exclusive data generated by external equipment ON or OFF. CHORD SYS/EX. Tx (TRANSMIT) ...... Turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect — root and type) ON or OFF. CHORD SYS/EX. Rx (RECEIVE).......... Turns MIDI reception of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment ON or OFF. Transmitting MIDI Data — Transmit This determines which parts will send MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent. A Determines the channel for changing transmit settings. B C D E Determines the Part for the selected channel. The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Turns transmission of the specified data type on or off. See below for details on the data types. Data Types in the MIDI TRANSMIT/RECEIVE Display Note Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played. Control Change (CC) Control change data includes pedal and any other controller data. Program Change (PC) Program change data corresponds to voice or “patch” numbers. Pitch Bend (PB) See page 143. After Touch (AT)* With this function, the PSR-2100/1100 senses how much pressure you apply to the keys while playing, and uses that pressure to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice. This allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing technique. * Available in RECEIVE display only (page 150). PSR-2100/1100 149 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Receiving MIDI Data — Receive This determines which parts will receive MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be received. The MIDI IN/OUT terminals and Port 1 of the USB terminal correspond to channels 1 - 16. Port 2 of the USB terminal corresponds to channels 17 - 32. A Determines the channel for changing receive settings. B C The dots corresponding to each channel (1 - 32) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). D E Determines the Part for the selected channel. See below for details about the receive parts. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Turns reception of the specified data type on or off. See page 149 for details on the data types. MIDI Receive Parts OFF No MIDI data is received. SONG Normally, the part receiving the MIDI data corresponds to the part/voice used in playing back the song data. Channels 1 - 16 correspond to song channels 1 - 16, respectively. MAIN The MAIN part is controlled by the MIDI data received on the corresponding channel. LAYER The LAYER part is controlled by the MIDI data received on the corresponding channel. LEFT The LEFT part is controlled by the MIDI data received on the corresponding channel. KEYBOARD MIDI note data received by the PSR-2100/1100 plays the corresponding notes in the same way as if they are played on the keyboard. ACMP RHYTHM1-2 The received notes are used as the accompaniment RHYTHM 1 and RHYTHM 2. ACMP BASS The received notes are used as the accompaniment BASS. ACMP CHORD1-2 The received notes are used as the accompaniment CHORD 1 and CHORD 2. ACMP PAD The received notes are used as the accompaniment PAD. ACMP PHRASE1-2 The received notes are used as the accompaniment PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2. EXTRA PART1-5 There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. When these five channels are enabled, you can use the instrument as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator. Setting Root Note Channels — Root The note ON/OFF messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the root notes in the accompaniment section. The root notes will be detected regardless of the accompaniment ON/OFF and split point settings. The MIDI IN/OUT terminals and Port 1 of the USB terminal correspond to channels 1 - 16. Port 2 of the USB terminal corresponds to channels 17 - 32. A Selects the channels in groups of eight: 1 - 8, 9 - 16, 17 - 24, and 25 - 32, respectively. B C D E When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the root note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. Sets the desired channel to ON or OFF. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Sets all channels to OFF. Setting Chord Channels — Chord Detect The note ON/OFF messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the chord notes in the accompaniment section. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The root notes will be detected regardless of the accompaniment ON/OFF and split point settings. The operation procedure is basically the same as that of the ROOT display above. 150 PSR-2100/1100 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Other Settings — Utility The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 136. Making Settings for Fade In/Out, Metronome, Parameter Lock, and Tap — CONFIG 1 Fade In Time, Fade Out Time, Fade Out Hold Time These determine how long it takes for the accompaniment style and song to fade in or fade out. Determines the time it takes for the volume to fade in, or go from minimum to maximum (range of 0 - 20.0 seconds). Determines the time the volume is held at 0 following the fade out (range of 0 5.0 seconds). 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines the time it takes for the volume to fade out, or go from maximum to minimum (range of 0 - 20.0 seconds). Metronome These let you make settings for the metronome-related parameters. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines the level of the metronome sound. Determines which sound is used for the metronome. Bell Off ........................ Conventional metronome sound, with no bell. Bell On......................... Conventional metronome sound, with bell. Determines the time signature of the metronome sound. When you start the song or accompaniment style, the values matching to them are automatically set. PSR-2100/1100 151 Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Parameter Lock This function is used to “lock” the specified parameters so that they can only be changed directly via the panel controls — in other words, instead of via Registration Memory, One Touch Setting, Music Finder, or song and sequence data. PSR-2100 only Selects the desired parameter for locking/ unlocking. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines whether the selected parameter is locked (checkmarked) or unlocked (empty). Tap Count This lets you change settings of the tap sound, used for the Tap Start function (page 54). Determines the particular sound used for the Tap Start function. Any drum or percussion sound in the Standard Kit (page 58) can be selected. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines the level of the tap sound.

You can download a copy of the YAMAHA USB MIDI Driver free of charge from the XG Library on the Yamaha Web site (http://www.yamaha-xg.com/). CAUTION If you are using a USB cable to connect the PSR-2100/1100 to your computer, you must connect the USB cable before turning on the power of the instrument. Also, do not turn the power of the PSR-2100/1100 on/off while any application software that uses USB or MIDI is running. If you turn the power of the PSR-2100/1100 on or off or connect/ disconnect the USB cable in the following states, problems will occur in the computer system, possibly causing it to “freeze” (hang up), or causing the PSR-2100/1100 to stop functioning. • While installing the driver. • While starting or shutting down the operating system. • While the computer is in an energy-save or sleep mode. • When a MIDI application program is starting. Make sure NOT to perform any of the following operations. Otherwise, the computer may lock up or the PSR-2100/1100 functions may be disabled. • Turning the power on/off, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. • Shifting to energy-save or sleep mode while MIDI data is being transferred, or returning from sleep mode. • Disconnecting/connecting the cable while the PSR-2100/1100 is on. • Turning the power of the PSR-2100/1100 on/off, starting up your computer, or installing the driver while a large amount of data is being transferred. • The PSR-2100/1100 will begin transmission a short time after the USB connection is made. • When using a USB cable to connect PSR-2100/1100 to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub. • Depending on the state of your computer, the operating state of PSR-2100/1100 may become unstable. Do not use your computer in a way that causes it to enter an unstable state. Using the MIDI terminals When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-2100/1100 with standard MIDI cables. When connecting the PSR-2100/1100 to a personal computer, first turn off the power to both the PSR-2100/1100 and the computer before connecting any cables. After making the proper connections and settings, turn on the power of the computer first, then that of the PSR-2100/1100. • When the computer has a MIDI interface installed, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the personal computer to the MIDI IN terminal. MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI OUT MIDI IN NEC MultiSync PC-9821 AS NEC PSR-2100/1100 157 Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices • When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series computer, connect the RS-422 terminal of the computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI interface, then connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the MIDI interface to the MIDI IN terminal of the PSR2100/1100, as shown in the diagram below. MIDI IN Now let’s examine what happens when we play back a recording. When you playback a music CD (for example, a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual sound (vibrations in air) of the acoustic instrument. This is called audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data. Recording and playing back the performance of an acoustic instrument (audio data) RS422 Recording MIDI OUT Playback MINI DIN 8-pin • When using a Macintosh series computer, set the MIDI interface clock setting in the application software to match the setting of the MIDI interface you are using. For details, refer to the owner’s manual for the particular software you are using. What’s MIDI? Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note? Acoustic guitar note production In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the actual piano performance. The piano itself is not necessary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of the piano, and your speakers reproduce them. Recording and playing back the performance of a digital instrument (MIDI data) Recording Playback Digital instrument note production Tone generator Internal amp L Tone generator (Electric circuit) Sequencer Internal amp R Controller (keyboard, etc.) FD Playing the keyboard Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound. Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampled note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers. As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument, the sampled note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard, and output through the speakers. 158 PSR-2100/1100 FD In the case of digital instruments, the audio signals are sent through output jacks (such as AUX OUT) on the instrument. Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic example. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard is captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In order to record the audio performance on an acoustic piano, special recording equipment is needed. However, since the PSR-2100/1100 features a built-in sequencer that lets you record performance data, this recording equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instrument — the PSR-2100/1100 — allows you to both record and play back the data. ■ Example Keyboard Data Voice number (with what voice) 01 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong) Panel operations on the PSR-2100/1100, such as playing the keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment styles and songs also consist of MIDI data. Tone generator Sequencer Keyboard performance (MIDI data) However, we also need a sound source to produce the audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The tone generator of the PSR-2100/1100 fills this function. The recorded performance is reproduced by the sequencer, playing back the song data, using a tone generator capable of accurately producing various instrument sounds — including that of a piano. Looked at in another way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone generator is similar to that of the pianist and the piano — one plays the other. Since digital instruments handle playback data and the actual sounds independently, we can hear our piano performance played by another instrument, such as guitar or violin. Even though it is a single musical instrument, the PSR-2100/1100 can be thought of as containing several electronic components: a controller, a tone generator, and a sequencer. Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the PSR-2100/1100 keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampled note. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The PSR-2100/1100 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data.The PSR-2100/1100 can be controlled by incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts. MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data: • The amount of data is much less, letting you easily store MIDI songs to floppy disk. • The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point of changing voices and transforming the data. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. ■ Channel Messages The PSR-2100/1100 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels (or 32 channels, when using the USB terminal). This is usually expressed as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels. Message Name PSR-2100/1100 Operation/Panel Setting Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played. Program Change Voice selecting (control change bank select MSB/LSB setting) Control Change Volume, panpot (Mixing Console), etc. The performance data of all songs and styles is handled as MIDI data. PSR-2100/1100 159 Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices MIDI channels MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 - 16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel.Your home TV set receives many different programs simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired program. As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting MIDI data (page 149). The PSR-2100/1100 also allows you to determine how the received data is played back. (page 150). ■ System Messages This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device. Message Name PSR-2100/1100 Operation/Panel Setting System Exclusive Message Effect type settings (Mixing Console), etc. Realtime Messages Clock setting, Start/stop operation Weather Report News 1 2 News 2 MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument. MIDI cable MIDI transmit channel 2 MIDI receive channel 2 The PSR-2100/1100’s keyboard and internal tone generator are also connected by MIDI (page 148). For example, several tracks (channels) can be transmitted simultaneously, including the style data (as shown below). Example: Recording the auto accompaniment of the PSR-2100/ 1100 to an external sequencer The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-2100/1100 are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementation Chart in the separate Data List. What You Can Do With MIDI The following MIDI settings can be made on the PSR2100/1100: • MIDI templates (preset MIDI setups for various applications) (page 148) • Transmit (page 149) • Receive (page 150) • Local Control (page 148) • Clock (page 149) ■ Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the PSR-2100/1100 Auto Accompaniment features on a external sequencer (such as a personal computer). After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then play it again on the PSR-2100/1100 (playback).

Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play back the data without any problem, or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played back. If you run into problems playing back data, please refer to the information below. Disk format Sequence Format The system which records song data is called “sequence format.” Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the disk matches that of the MIDI device. The PSR-2100/ 1100 is compatible with the following formats. ■ SMF (Standard MIDI File) This is the most common sequence format. Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0. • The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used with various devices, including computers. Different devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system of the device being used.This operation is called “formatting.” • Song data recorded on the PSR-2100/1100 is automatically recorded as SMF Format 0. • There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided, high density), and each type has different formatting systems. ■ ESEQ • PSR-2100/1100 can record and playback with both types of floppy disks. • When formatted by the PSR-2100/1100, a 2DD disk stores up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores up to1.44 MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and “1.44MB” indicate the data memory capacity. They are also used to indicate the format type of disk.) • Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be used is compatible with the format of the disk. • Song data loaded to the PSR-2100/1100 is automatically saved as SMF Format 0 regardless of the original format. This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR-2100/1100 series instruments.This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. ■ XF The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) format with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. • The PSR-2100/1100 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. ■ Style File The Style File Format – SFF – is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. PSR-2100/1100 161 Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices Voice Allocation Format With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.” Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback. The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with the following formats. Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the specifications of the devices and particular data recording methods. ■ GM System Level 1 This is one of the most common voice allocation formats. • Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level1, as is most commercially available software. ■ XG XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. • Song data recorded on the PSR-2100/1100 using voices in the [XG] category is XG-compatible. ■ DOC This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR series instruments. This is also a common format used with various Yamaha software. 162 PSR-2100/1100 Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution • The PSR-2100/1100 does not turn on; there is no power. Make sure that the PSR-2100/1100 has been plugged in properly (page 16). • A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. This is normal when electrical current is applied to the instrument. • Noise is heard from the PSR-2100/1100’s speakers. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-2100/1100 may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the PSR-2100/1100. • The display is too bright or too dark to read. The brightness of the display may be affected by the surrounding temperature; try adjusting the contrast (page 17). • The keyboard volume is low compared to that of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback. The overall keyboard volume or the independent volume level of the keyboard part may be set too low. Raise the MAIN/LAYER/LEFT volume voices or lower the STYLE/SONG volume in the BALANCE display (page 64). • The volume of the Auto Accompaniment or song playback is low compared to that of the keyboard. The volume level of one or more accompaniment parts or song channels is set too low. Raise the part or channel level(s) in the appropriate MIXER display (page 125). • The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard. • The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. • The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume of MAIN, LAYER, LEFT, STYLE, and SONG in the BALANCE display (page 64). • Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 64, 81). • Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the headphones. • Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 148). • Not all simultaneously-played notes sound. You may be exceeding the maximum polyphony of the PSR-2100/1100. When this happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound. See page 165 for information on the maximum polyphony. • Accompaniment style or Song playback does not start. • MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” (page 149). • Make sure to press the appropriate [START/STOP] button. To play an accompaniment style, press the STYLE [START/STOP] button (page 64); to playback a song, press the SONG [START/STOP] button (page 79). • “New Song” (a blank song) has been selected. Make sure to select an appropriate song in the SONG display (page 79). • The song has been stopped at the end of the song data. Return to the beginning of the song by pressing the [TOP] button (page 81). • The Multi Pads do not play back, even when one of the MULTI PAD buttons is pressed. MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” (page 149). • Only the rhythm channel plays. Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP] button. • The accompaniment style does not start, even when Synchro Start is in standby condition and a key is pressed. You may be trying to start accompaniment by playing a key in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play a key in the left-hand (accompaniment) range of the keyboard. • The desired chord is not recognized or output by the auto accompaniment. • You may not be playing the correct keys to indicate the chord. Refer to “Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode” (page 66). • You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according to the selected mode (page 65). • An unexpected result or malfunction occurred during an operation. If, during execution of an operation, you simultaneously press three or more buttons that are unrelated to the operation or normal procedure, unexpected or unusual results may occur. • Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regardless of the split point or where chords are played on the keyboard. This is normal if the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard.” If either of these is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If desired, select a different fingering mode (page 65). PSR-2100/1100 163 Troubleshooting Problem 164 Possible Cause and Solution • Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch. The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the Scale in the Scale Tune page (page 138). • Some channels do not properly play back when playing back song data. Make sure that playback of the relevant channel(s) is turned on (page 81). • The solution to this problem is to ensure that as little extraneous sound as possible is picked up by your vocal microphone: • Sing as closely to the microphone as possible. • Use a directional microphone. • Turn down the MASTER VOLUME or volume for each part. • Separate the microphone from the instrument's speakers as much as possible. • Cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 133). • Increase the microphone input level (“TH.”) in the Compressor function from the MICROPHONE SETTING display (page 133). If you experience distorted or out-of-tune sound from the Vocal Harmony feature, your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds (other than your voice) — the Auto Accompaniment sound from the PSR-2100/1100, for example. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony feature (PSR-2100 only). • Appropriate harmony notes are not produced by the Vocal Harmony feature (PSR-2100 only). Make sure you are using the appropriate method to specify the harmony notes for the current Vocal Harmony mode. See page 134. • The Harmony function does not operate. Harmony cannot be used with the Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard fingering modes. Select an appropriate fingering mode (page 65). • The microphone input signal and Vocal Harmony sound (PSR-2100 only) cannot be recorded. This is normal; recording the audio input of the microphone is not possible. • MIDI data is not transmitted or received via the MIDI terminals, even when MIDI cables are connected properly. Remove the USB cable from the PSR-2100/1100’s USB terminal. • When a voice is changed, the previously selected effect is changed. Each voice has its own suitable preset values which are automatically recalled when the corresponding Voice Set parameters are turned on (page 146). • There is a slight difference in sound quality between notes played on the keyboard. • Some voices have a looping sound. • Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the voice. This is normal and is a result of the PSR-2100/1100’s sampling system. • Some voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers. This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift. • Even though a Registration Memory setting containing a User voice is selected, the Open/ Save display shows a Preset voice. This is normal; even with the Preset voice shown, the actual sounding voice is the selected User voice. When a User voice is registered to the User drive or floppy disk, the actual registered is: 1) the source Preset voice, and 2) the parameter settings as set in the Sound Creator. When you recall a Registration Memory setting containing a User voice, the PSR-2100/1100 selects the Preset voice (on which the User voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter settings to it – so that your original User voice is sounded. • Disk save operations take a long time. This is normal. Keep in mind that it takes approximately 1 minute to save 1 megabyte of data to a floppy disk. • The voice produces excessive noise. Certain voices may produce noise, depending on the Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FILTER page of the Mixing Console display (page 126). • The sound is distorted or noisy. • The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings are appropriate. • This may be caused by the effects. Try canceling all unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects (page 127). • Some filter resonance settings in the Custom Voice Creator display (page 92) can result in distorted sound. Adjust these settings if necessary. • Is the gain of the Low band set too high in the Master Equalizer display (Mixing Console — page 130)? (PSR-2100 only) • A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs. Also, the sound is slightly different each time the keys are played. Both the Main and Layer parts are set to “ON,” and both parts are set to play the same voice. Set the Layer part to “OFF” (page 59) or change the voice for each part (page 57).
